MARC has campaigned for the Secretary of State to reconsider the CE/UKCA mark ruling and allow European test certificates to be valid for products already on sale.
The U-turn is a huge win and testament to the collective effort across the industry.

Moving homes over to low-carbon technologies, like heat pumps and hydrogen boilers, will be key to meeting #NetZero
The 'Heating up to Net Zero' report identifies the core technical systems requirements and proposals to achieve decarbonisation.

Retrofitting homes' heating systems & reducing the flow temperature, may involve replacing radiators through correct sizing and heat loss calculations. Success will depend on a suitable government scheme & supporting information.

Most radiators could be illegal to sell from 2022 due to post-Brexit ruling, says @Marc_Radiators

🚫Majority of radiators on sale in the UK unable to be sold from 2022 under bureaucratic Brexit ruling!
We urge the Secretary of State to reconsider this ruling and allow European test certificates to be valid for products already on sale.

This ruling does nothing to improve standards as the European and UK criteria are the same. It merely places impractical and costly barriers for the industry.

It is so important to make sure you are installing quality, certified radiators. Check out @Marc_Radiators’ guidance on how to do that below.
False claims on radiator outputs leave consumers cold, & out of pocket, which reflects badly on the industry. Heating engineers, Merchants, showrooms, everyone is affected.
You can help by sharing our #consumer guide & raising awareness.
