No GB-based authorised representatives are recognised under EU law to carry out tasks on the manufacturer’s behalf for equipment being placed on the EU market. This means that GB based authorised representatives cannot carry out tasks on the manufacturer’s behalf for products being placed on the Northern Ireland or EEA markets. Therefore, a GB manufacturer selling equipment to the EEA or into Northern Ireland, who wishes to appoint an authorised representative to carry out tasks for them in respect of that equipment, must appoint an authorised representative based in Northern Ireland or the EEA. There is therefore one set of UK 2016 Regulations, but some of the provisions apply differently in NI under the terms of the Windsor Framework. References to the 2016 Regulations in this guide are references to those Regulations as they apply in Great Britain. On 20 June 2022, the Government announced the provisions for UKCA labelling and importer labelling would be extended until 31 December 2025. On 14 November 2022 the Government announced it would be extending the provisions for UKCA labelling and importer labelling until 31 December 2027. The Product Safety and Metrology (Amendment and Transitional Provisions) Regulations 2022 (SI 2022/1393) give effect to this. NI businesses that are importing products from the EEA and placing them on the GB market must ensure that the relevant conformity assessment procedure has been carried out, that the technical documentation has been drawn up and that the equipment bears the CE marking. They will also have to comply with the importer labelling duties (see Section 6 on obligations of importers). This means that electrical equipment that is a qualifying Northern Ireland good can be sold in the rest of the UK if the CE marking is currently applied to the good on the basis of self-declaration.
Ensure any electrical equipment brought into the workplace by workers, or any hired or borrowed, is suitable for use before using it and remains suitable by being maintained as necessary Mandated authorised representatives for the GB market can be based in GB or Northern Ireland but cannot be based outside the UK. A manufacturer can only mandate an authorised representative established in the UK under the Regulations as they apply in GB. Before placing electrical equipment on the GB market, the manufacturer must ensure that the equipment has been designed and manufactured in accordance with the principal elements of the safety objectives. These are set out in Schedule 1 to the Regulations. The manufacturer must also have a relevant conformity assessment procedure carried out and technical documentation drawn up. The importer must keep a copy of the declaration of conformity and technical documentation for a period of 10 years after the equipment has been placed on the GB market. Any references in the 2016 Regulations to the manufacturer are to be taken to include a reference to the authorised representative including in relation to penalties for failure to comply with those duties. 6. Obligations of importers
Contents
The importer must ensure that the relevant conformity assessment has been carried out by the manufacturer; the manufacturer has drawn up the technical documentation; the manufacturer has affixed the UKCA marking see footnote 2, to the equipment and has drawn up the declaration of conformity. Until 31 December 2027, the UKCA marking may be affixed to a label affixed to, or a document accompanying, the equipment; this applies even where it would otherwise be possible to affix the UKCA marking to the equipment. Products which are repaired, refurbished or exchanged without changing their original performance, purpose, or type, are not considered ‘new’ and therefore do not need to be recertified and remarked. Over time, the anus will become used to the size of the butt plug. A person can then gradually increase the girth of the butt plug until they achieve the size they desire.
The 2016 Regulations provide powers to market surveillance authorities to take action against economic operators for products that present a risk or are not in conformity with the 2016 Regulations, as set out in regulations 44 to 49. Economic operators are also required to co-operate with the enforcement authority and on request, must provide information and take action as appropriate.

Have it installed by a registered electrician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and BS 7671 – Requirements for Electrical Installations (IET Wiring Regulations). Arrange inspecting and testing of fixed wiring installations to minimise deterioration leading to danger. This should cover circuits from the meter and consumer unit supplying: Consider using a residual current device (RCD) between the electrical supply and the equipment, especially when working outdoors, or within a wet or confined place
