Note: The comment under UKCA marking (excluding medical devices etc.) that if UK Designated standards have restrictions that aren’t included in the EU Harmonised standards, then designated standards take precedent, even though they’re not recognised for CE conformity assessment. See sector guidance for further details.
This means that although CE marked goods are recognised for the GB market, Manufacturers/Importers may need to take additional steps to ensure that goods meet GB Designated Standards in addition to CE marking.
I hadn’t spotted this requirement previously.
