Charity Shops Can Sell CE Marked Goods After ‘No Deal’ Brexit, Government Confirms

Editor News

In the case of a ‘No Deal’ Brexit, the Govenment has confirmed that charity shops will still be able to sell goods with the Conformité Européene (CE) marking.

The Government, in response to a written question by Toby Perkins, MP for Chesterfield, has confirmed that:

“In the event of the UK leaving the EU without a deal, the Government is taking the decision to adopt a continuity approach in some areas, such as CE marked products, and continue to recognise CE marking as now. This means that charity retailers and other second-hand retailers can continue to place second hand goods with CE marking on the UK market, as before, for a time-limited period. There will be no need to reassess or re-mark goods, thereby minimising costs to business and consumers.”
