Updated: August 2023.
The UK government has confirmed that CE marking will be recognised until 31st December 2024 or 30th June 2025 for Construction Products, in an extension to the original deadline.
Following ‘Brexit’ on 31 December 2020, the British Government has replaced CE (European Conformity) marking with the UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) marking to show compliance with UK ‘designated standards’.
Whilst UK and European Union standards remain the same, it is likely that our products will carry both UKCA and CE markings to show that they are compliant with the relevant standards in both markets. When the UK and EU standards diverge, a product must only carry the appropriate marking. One further element of complication is for products sold in Northern Ireland, where they will still be required to carry the CE marking (or UKNI marking).

Please also refer to the Government’s guidance and the DHF’s advice.
Since May 2005, HAG has supplied with all doors with a CE marking and a Declaration of Conformity in accordance with the Construction Products Directive. That Directive was later superseded by the more powerful Construction Products Regulation. Doors affected by this new legislation are roller shutters, sectional doors, speed doors and sliding folding doors.
The key changes are in the safety devices to prevent the operation of doors in the event of failure and obstruction or failure that may cause injury or even death in some cases.
Tests on all components from each manufacturer must be carried out to EN 13241-1:2003 +A1:2011 ensuring the safe build of each door system, confirmed by a CE Label and a Declaration of performance certificate ( All this is in accordance with the Construction Products Regulation 2011).
The specification and legal requirements of each door system will change dependant on its application i.e., survey hatch, door way, window, shop front, loading bay as the traditional photo cells can now only be used as a secondary means of safety. This will result in the increase of additional devices such as safety brakes, secondary springs and safety edges.
A qualified assessment of each door installation is required to assess its application, risk’s to users and operator and the safety devices required to make the door legally safe under En 13241-1:2003 +A1:2011.
HAG has performed rigorous tests and investigation from all suppliers to ensure total compliance and give confidence to all customers that each custom made door are supplied legally compliant.
Electric operated doors will require a test certificate confirming:
• Resistance to wind load
• Watertightness
• Thermal transmittance
• Air permeability
• Safe operation
• Definition of geometry of glass components
• Mechanical resistance and stability
• Operating forces
• Dangerous substances
Julian Dunne, HAG Sales Director stated “Many of the companies in the door industry have not reached the stage of total compliance in time for this deadline and will fall foul of supplying doors without the proper CE requirements and as a result will compromise their customers positions”.
