Although I’m alright Jack, through my work I see the massive impact Brexit is having on our economy, costing industry enormous expenditure to overcome hurdles resulting from Brexit.
One very minor issue is the UKCA mark, which the UK government has delayed mandatory implementation three times already. Where a product requires the involvement of a Notified Body to obtain the UKCA mark, it can cost upwards of £100,000.
My own opinion is that the UK government will abandon this UKCA mark nonsense and accept the EU CE mark. But industry cannot take such a risk – should the UK enforce mandatory UKCA marking then the industry would be unable to sell their products in the UK (without the UKCA mark).
One recently announced Brexit benefit that you may not be aware of is that we can poison our babies with higher levels of arsenic in baby food, compared with that allowed within the EU.
