CE marking now (phasing out ?) to become Radio Equipment Directive (RE-D) what happens in UK ?

Thankyou for reply . I am also Radio Ham G0NDN and fairly active at the moment (i am on QRZ) , so would be good to have  a call sometime ! . Was think about  joining Microwave group incidentally. 


Agreed your statement is very reasonable, its  a slow burn , bu tI think the UKCA is maturing its 'watch this space' and it coudl change much quicker than anticipated. 


 Reading through the Government information on Brexit  website ( I have the UKCAleafllet ) there are changes imminently so for new and beyond 2021 onto he UK Market  I agree mostly changes are to the Process but  I have heard that there is a 'Blue Book' ( so a little like the IET Wiring Regs perhaps ?? , but do IET have this responsibility who to talk to  ) I can see we will have a flood of cheap imported unsafe products . This is because of a drift away from EU , possibly Harmonized WARC standards  some spectrum allocations take longer to implement by OFCOM until new  licences  ie; allocation within UK   may be restricted because  of aviation purposes . The UK Spectrum Policy Forum ( UKSPF ) certainly feels there is something in the offing to change . I don't think we can assume CE will continue without local certification or wording to state this is accepted, but i don't understand how or who will provide the Certification.
