Glass: Certification Quality Marks
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether his Department is taking steps to establish a UK approved body to facilitate type testing for glass products to help manufacturers meet the deadline for transition to the UKCA marking.
- Answer
-
A new regulatory goods regime now applies in Great Britain. This gives us an opportunity to make our regulations work in the best interests of consumers and businesses. Government is aware that manufacturers of certain glass products are currently unable to get their products tested, and are carefully considering how to make sure all firms are able to comply with the requirements of UKCA marking. The UK Government is not currently in the process of establishing a UK approved body to facilitate type testing for glass products.
