Part 1: UK Market Access: Goods Mutual recognition: goods Section 2: The mutual recognition principle for goods
This section sets out the principle of mutual recognition for goods, including the effect of mutual recognition.
	Subsection (1) sets out that a good that can be lawfully sold in the part of the UK in which it has been produced or imported into may be sold in any other part of the UK without needing to comply with any relevant requirements applying to the sale in that other part of the UK.
	In cases where there are no relevant requirements that would apply to the sale of a good in the part of the UK it was produced in or imported into, mutual recognition still permits the good to be sold in other parts of the UK without complying with the relevant requirements that apply in those other parts. The relevant requirements for the purposes of mutual recognition are set out in section 3.
	The definitions of "goods", "sale", "production", "importation" and other key terms are provided in sections 13 and 14.
	Subsection (2) provides that the effect of mutual recognition is limited by reference to the particular types of sale that a good is lawfully permitted to undergo in the part of the UK where it was produced in or imported into.
	Subsection (3) provides that when a good is being sold in a part of the UK and the conditions in subsection (1) are met, the relevant requirements that apply in that part have no application in relation to the sale. This complements subsection (1) which provides that a good can be sold free from relevant requirements in the place it is sold if the relevant conditions are met.
