<p>In the unlikely event of the UK leaving the EU without a deal, CE marked goods
that meet EU requirements will continue to be recognised for the UK market for a time-limited
period. This means that charity shops and second-hand retailers can, during this period,
continue to sell products with CE marking, as before. This will minimise costs to
business and consumers.</p><p> </p><p>Before taking any decision to end the period
of recognition of CE marking, we will launch a full and thorough consultation with
business, including charity retailers.</p><p><br> In terms of selling second-hand
goods specifically, then as long as those goods were compliant when first sold in
the UK, they do not generally need relabelling before being sold second-hand as long
as they are safe. This would still be the case even when the period of ongoing recognition
for CE-marking comes to an end.</p>
