Notes on standards changes, market rules and practical compliance work.

About these articles

This section collects short articles on regulatory developments that affect product makers and trading businesses. Each piece explains what has changed, who is affected and what a practical response looks like.

Topics include revisions to harmonised standards, updates to labelling and marking rules, and the documentation expected at assessment. We write for engineers, quality managers and business owners who need a clear reading of the rules without the legal jargon.

Published articles will be added below this introduction in date order.

How articles are written

Each article states the rule, the date it applies from and the evidence most often requested. Where a standard is still in draft, we say so.

Articles give general guidance and do not replace a review of your specific product.
