In order to maintain ease of trade imports and exports across the Irish and Northern Irish borders, Northern Ireland will continue to permit the sale of goods displaying the CE mark where there is harmonisation between UK and EU standards.

This means that if your good currently displays the CE mark, they can be permitted for sale in Northern Ireland if no differences in standards or regulations are observed between the CE and UKCA mark requirements.

However, if your goods have additional or differing requirements to meet UK standards, you will need to have testing or certification from either a UK Approved Body, or a Northern Ireland Notified Body.

For goods requiring CE standards, Cranage Veritas is able to assist you in certification for the CE mark, as well as the assistance in compiling your technical documentation and reviewing said documentation.
