From 1 July 2013 it will be a legal requirement for all building
services products covered by the harmonised European standards, to have
a CE Mark when sold in the UK.
This is a major change for the industry in the UK where CE marking is currently voluntary.
HVAC products like radiators, flues and chimneys, stoves, high
temperature fans and similar products will be subject to mandatory CE
marking.
Although there is still time till July 2013, the manufacturers and
importers need to act fast to have their products tested and CE Marked
to avoid serious implications of non-compliance. Testing when required
for CE Marking must be carried out by an independent accredited
laboratory with a Notified Body status.
Steve Cadd, Manager of BSRIA Test says: "Compliance is often a
challenging business. BSRIA Test is working with the UK manufacturers
and overseas importers helping them to understand the requirements and
guiding them through the process for CE Marking. For that we have
upgraded our test facilities and have maintained UKAS accreditation
with a Notified Body status for particular H&V products, giving our
customers confidence in their product performance and faster route to
compliance."
