This information note explains the United Kingdom’s procedures for conformity assessment and acceptance of marine equipment for UK ships following the end of the transition period for the UK’s withdrawal from the EU at 11:00 p.m. on 31 December 2020.

This note updates the previous information note that was issued prior to the UK leaving the EU. It updates guidance on continued recognition of marine equipment approved under the Marine Equipment Directive and confirms that recognition is intended to end on 1 January 2023, pending the outcome of an open consultation.

Manufacturers and other economic operators based in the UK who wish to place marine equipment on the EU market after the end of the transition period will need to ensure that such equipment also complies with the relevant EU conformity assessment procedures for marine equipment.
