Ah great, cricket gets even more expensive.

Heard some news today, some big companies have submitted items (high end) for testing and have not passed. Further submissions are being sent. As yet no one until after submission seems to be aware of the full requirements. A very very costly exercise!

All started by some busy body in Trading Standards who started looking at it. One company on the South Coast has been told they cannot be sold however elsewhere in the country this is OK...for the moment!! With all the stock brands have invested in it will be a worrying time!

Once good thing from this is that some of the total rubbish being produced will be run out of town.

I�ve spent most of last week dealing with this from people who have no understanding on what they are trying to enforce or the implications of it all.

When they classify a cricket bat as PPE in the safety standard it shows the issues at hand!

Is it actually a new category? That's not how I read it. Is it not just new labelling requirements post-Brexit?

Yes been going on since last August. Every pad and glove range, r/h & l/h , have to go through individual testing. Thigh/arm/chest guards will also need testing. The costs involved are crazy, plus once passed you will then have to pay a licence to sell them. This will eventually be rolled out through the country.

No, it�s moving categories 1 items ( pads / gloves) into category 2 (helmets)

Who do you pay the licence to?

So is it Brexit related or not really?

This was what I was worrying about when I first read this... Might be time to stock up on gloves!

It's a cost to suppliers, manufacturers but obviously could impact end users if those cost are inevitably passed on. Doesn't really seem like anyone truly knows what's happening tbh as yet.

Nothing to do with Brexit from the little I understand of it. IF and when it comes in to force it basically means that you will only be able to get softs from the big brands within the game that basically are in the retailers domain, and in turn will pretty much ruin the smaller brands like for instance myself who has just placed an order for a small quantity of softs to go along with my bats.

To give some idea i believe and i could be wrong but the costing works out to approximately �750 for every item so �1500 for a single set of softs and if you offer a RH & LH option that�s �3k for a single set of softs let alone multiple options or price points. This is also before whatever the Licence costs are.
