In a recent statement, the UK Minister for Building Safety and Homelessness, Rushanara Ali, confirmed that the recognition of CE marking for construction products will be extended beyond the previously set deadline of 30th June 2025.

*Statement

The UKCA mark will, nonetheless, remain a valid and accepted regulatory mark.

This decision to extend recognition notably stems from the findings of the Independent Review of the Construction Products Testing Regime, which highlighted a lack of sufficient domestic testing and certification capacity to fully replace the CE mark without causing trade disruptions and supply chain delays.

Key takeaways on the latest news on construction products in the UK:

  1. The UK Government has committed to a system-wide reform of the regulatory framework for construction products.
  2. Both CE and UKCA marks will be reviewed as part of the reform and their long-term future will be assessed.
  3. Any future changes to the recognition of the CE marking will be subject to a minimum 2-year transition period.
  4. The UK Government will work with UK Conformity Assessment Bodies, the UK Accreditation Service and the industry to reinforce the conformity assessment market.

More information on these developments will be published on the UK government webpage on the Construction Products Regulation in Great Britain.

Glass for Europe will continue to monitor these updates and report on them as further details emerge. We also would like to thank our colleagues and partners from the UK for their collaboration on this issue.
