UK Compliance & Post-Brexit Regulatory Software

Brexit created a parallel regulatory universe that requires companies to maintain separate compliance assets for GB and EU market access — and the gap between the two systems is widening. UKCA marking has fully replaced CE marking for products sold in Great Britain, with distinct conformity assessment routes and UK-designated standards. UK REACH fungerer som et uafhængigt kemikalieregistreringssystem, der kræver separate stofmeddelelser til HSE i stedet for ECHA. The Modern Slavery Act 2015 predates and differs from its EU equivalents in structure, threshold, and enforcement. Plastemballageafgiften på 200 GBP pr. ton har ingen direkte EU-analog.

Northern Ireland adds a layer of complexity under the Windsor Framework, retaining alignment with EU single market rules for goods while remaining part of the UK customs territory. Produkter, der flytter fra GB til NI, kan kræve andre mærkninger og erklæringer end dem, der udelukkende sælges inden for GB. For producenter, der betjener det britiske marked plus EU-eksport, multipliceres permutationerne af nødvendige aktiver hurtigt.

Sustalium håndterer denne parallelle compliance-aktiv-udfordring ved at opretholde forbundne, men separate overholdelsesregistre for UK og EU-krav. Your REACH substance data exists in both UK REACH and EU REACH formats, drawing from the same supplier declarations but producing jurisdiction-correct outputs. UKCA and CE conformity assets share underlying test reports but generate separate Declarations of Conformity referencing the appropriate standards and legislation. When regulatory divergence creates new UK-specific requirements — as the Plastic Packaging Tax and packaging EPR scheme have — those obligations integrate alongside existing records without disrupting your EU compliance workflows.
