The UKEX Statutory Instrument SI 2016 No. 1107, closely reflects the requirements of the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.

On 24 January 2024, the UK Government announced it would extend recognition of goods that meet EU requirements (including the CE marking), indefinitely, beyond 2024 for many products.

This means goods that meet EU (ATEX) requirements can be placed on the GB market beyond 31 December 2024. However, some manufacturers choose to maintain their UKEX Product Certificates and UKEX QANs, for example as per customer requirement/request.

David Ford QA Ltd can guide manufacturers, who maintain UKEX, through the few requirements specific to UKEX compliance.
