The Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) has published its ‘Guidance to UK conformity assessment, marking and documentation’. It can be found on the recently added a Brexit tab on the Association’s website: leeaint.com.
This portal has been created to help keep companies up to date on all Brexit news and provides details on UK trade agreements and manufacturer requirements. There is also a series of Brexit-specific frequently asked questions. The FAQs and the UKCA Guidance note will be continuously updated on the website to provide quick responses to common issues.
“It is essential that operations in the lifting industry stay on top of Brexit developments,” said Ross Moloney, CEO of the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA), “LEEA is working closely with other UK Trade bodies such as ALLMI (Association of Lorry Loader Manufacturers and Importers), CPA (Construction Product Association and CEA (Construction Equipment Association) to ensure a common interpretation of the requirements and ease the transition for our respective memberships. We are also in close liaison with the relevant authorities for the same purpose and we will keep members up to date as things development over the course of the coming months.”
