No-Deal Brexit Poses Severe Regulatory Challenges for RFID Suppliers in the U.K.

The United Kingdom's Brexit battle has been enervating, to say the least. With competing interests taking a hard line, the original Brexit deadline of Mar. 31, 2019, has come and gone. Currently, RFID equipment may be marketed in the United Kingdom if it meets the requirements of the E.U.'s Radio Equipment Directive (RED) and Low Voltage Directive (LVD). Some equipment is also subject to the Restriction on Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) and the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE). The E.U. and U.K. also require conformity with various harmonized standards.
