Part 1: UK Market Access: Goods Supplementary Section 12: Guidance to Part 1
This section provides the Secretary of State with a power to issue statutory guidance about the practical operation and effect of the market access principles of mutual recognition and non-discrimination for goods. This could include guidance on enforcement, for market surveillance authorities and UK traders.
	The UKIM Act will not directly introduce any new enforcement bodies, powers or penalties, relying instead on enforcement provisions in existing goods regulation to ensure compliance with the requirements of the mutual recognition principle.
	Subsection (2) provides for guidance to be addressed to any description of persons. Guidance will be needed to explain how the existing enforcement framework will work to give effect to the new market access principles, including how this affects the roles and responsibilities of regulators and what it means for traders in terms of regulatory compliance.
	Subsection (4) provides for the Secretary of State to revise guidance from time to time, and withdraw it, as appropriate.
