New laws to introduce digital labelling The government intends to legislate to continue recognition of current EU requirements - including the CE marking for a range of products - this spring. This means businesses will have the flexibility to use either the UKCA or CE marking to sell a range of products in Great Britain. This will reduce burdens and costs for businesses whilst maintaining consumer safety. The government will also be introducing a range of labelling measures, including optional digital labelling, in the spring. Find out what this means for you and your business. |
