The Labour government has confirmed the CE mark will continue to be available for construction products placed in the UK market beyond the 30 June 2025 set by the previous administration.

The Department for Business and Trade has announced an indefinite extension of the use of CE marking in products made by UK businesses in the latest u-turn of proposed post-Brexit regulations.

Lack of capacity in product testing could lead to the delay in construction of 150,000 homes in a single year, the Construction Leadership Council (CLC) is warning the government.

The Construction Leadership Council has welcomed the confirmation that the UK government has postponed planned changes to product marking rules.
