    Do they need the stamp even if they are made from plastic?

    Yes, some plastics form razor sharp shards when broken.

    Does this also apply to skylights/roof vents?

    The document mentions roof windows but I've never heard of someone failing for a roof vents, quite a few failed for caravan side windows when it came in a few years ago.
