Impact
of Brexit on door standards, CE marking and
more
The eagle eyed may already have
spotted a DHF
update on this topic however I thought it important
to reiterate the main points made and answer questions
we’ve started to receive from some customers. Whilst
concern is understandable in all the Brexit uncertainty
it is important to realise that responsibilities,
standards and CE marking are not due to change once the
UK exits the European Union.
The BSI standards
will remain in place and will not be replaced, and CE
marking is likely to remain in force until
31st December 2020. Although testing bodies
might change I think the important point is that there
will still be testing bodies and it will continue to be
the responsibility of door manufacturers and installers
to make sure that products are tested and
compliant.
I think the good news therefore is
that it’s business as usual, we don’t need to
familiarise ourselves with new standards. Of course, for
any companies not already compliant the pressure is on
to meet existing requirements.
