"The current government guidance for UK-based companies in this situation is that products placed on the UK market will need to adopt the new UKCA conformity marking. But for UK companies placing goods on the EU market, the option to self-certify will cease.

Instead, they will need to use an EU-recognised notified body to confirm compliance."

Ahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha

Hell isle isolating itself from imports and exports on any certifiable products is peak Brexit. Holy loving poo poo this is stupid.


Also lollin that we pay 25% Tariffs on steel to export from the UK..... to the UK.

The UK is a turning around zone for Chinese goods in bulk to Europe, which I assume is the drive behind the EU asking that we actually start certifying poo poo instead of just waving it through Actual trade that stops in the UK is hosed. Customs is deliberately obscure and contrary to non-EU sources. My missus works in wholesale, and EU trade has dropped 90%, and what they do try to do gets held up/lost/returned at a ludicrous rate. Like 1 in 10 consignments will have an issue despite paperwork being the same for all.

You won't be able to self certify for selling items into Europe as of Jan 1st 2023, all due to the certifying for UKCA. You can have UKCA & CE certification on products by slapping a sticker on though until 2015, but that's dependent on Chinese suppliers actually getting the certification applied to their goods. You have to certify through an EU agency now for CE markings as an example with low voltage electronics, measuring equipment etc.

Distributors are responsible for the CA certification I thought? We're having to make sure all the stuff we sell is getting CA marked and if not we have to pay for the testing.

I also think the extension to the CA deadline came with the caveat of 'If it has a CE mark it counts as having a CA mark' too but I could be wrong on that.


As of Jan 1st it must have the UKCA marking and the CE mark is not accepted as it is currently - as I understand it the manufacturer is responsible for the markings and compliance unless you have a third party go and inspect the process and certify it. I don't think it's legal to just whack a UKCA sticker on it. Importing through customs will probably want to see the actual certifying documentation - though who loving knows how that's going to work or if it will even work given the amount of nonsense Brexit has caused.

'Responding to Truss’s appointment, Sir Rocco Forte, the Brexiter hotelier and Tory donor who hit out at Boris Johnson earlier this year, said: “From what I have seen of her, Liz Truss is a very determined person and has a very clear idea as to what she has to do. I am very hopeful.”'

So technically right now there is no Prime Minister, which means the Queen is fully in charge of everything, right? As we’re on the chaos timeline I fully expect her to drop dead before she gets to meet Truss.

'Hannah Bardell (SNP) asks why her constituents should have faith she can suffer the “ongoing humanitarian crisis” caused by the energy crisis. And will Truss be as “corrupt” as her predecessor?

Sir Lindsay Hoyle, the Speaker, asks Bardell to withdraw the word corrupt.

Bardell says: “Sometimes the truth hurts, but I’m happy to withdraw.”'

Get in the loving bin Lindsay and drown in the bin juice.

I pray for a larger sinkhole underneath Whitehall every single loving day.



This gem just sums it all up - yes Liz, those people work REAL hard to take home exec pay packets for doing absolutely nothing.

"Starmer says Truss is choosing to hand water companies polluting the rivers a tax cut. And banks are getting a tax cut. Companies doing well are getting a £17bn tax cut, while stroke victims wait an hour for an ambulance and criminals walk the streets with impunity. Why does she think it is right to protect Shell’s profits and to give Amazon a tax break?

Truss says she is on the side of people who work hard. She will deliver jobs and opportunities."
