October 30th, 2019 Update: On March 29, 2017, UK Prime Minister Theresa May triggered Article 50, which formally started the process whereby the UK will leave the European Union. The original plan was for the UK to leave the EU on March 29th, 2019 but the process has proven to be very complicated and dates and outcomes have continued to shift. On October 28th, 2019, the EU agreed to push the extension deadline to January 31, 2020.

Expansion Guide - UK CE Marking
CE marking is an important part of taking a physical product into the UK and anywhere in the European Union (EU). For most products to gain access to the UK, which is part of the EU, you will have to have CE marking on your product and undertake extensive testing to meet EU standards prior to market testing. Globig has compiled information to help you determine if your product requires CE marking, how best to get CE marking, how long it takes, and how costly it is. We also recommend that you speak with an attorney if your product requires a CE mark.
