Government department overseeing introduction of new certification rules accused of ‘radio silence’
The boss of an industry trade body has told housing secretary Michael Gove to scrap the new certification regime for construction products and said the plans have “absolutely no benefit”.
Chris Yates, chief executive of the Federation of Environmental Trade Associations (FETA), said there is a “lot of scepticism about the real value” of the UKCA mark, a post-Brexit system which is set to replace the existing Europe-wide CE mark.
