The Office for Product Safety And Standards (OPSS) has updated its Statutory guidance on the
Recreational Craft Regulations 2017.
This guidance will assist your understanding of the regulations and includes obligations for manufacturers, their authorised representatives, importers, distributors and private importers.
The latest update reflects the further extension of the transition period for UKCA marking. CE marking will now be accepted for the products covered by the regulations as an equivalent mark for an additional year until 11pm 31 December 2024. After this date any product being placed on the UK market will need to carry the UKCA mark.
The guidance can be downloaded from the gov.uk website here.
