UK Conformity Assessed
The new product marking scheme, known as UKCA (United Kingdom Conformity Assessed), will take the place of CE marking for the majority of products sold in the Great Britain market (England, Wales, and Scotland) as of January 1, 2021.
The majority of products that might use the CE designation do so instead with the UKCA marking. Aerosol products that previously needed the reversed epsilon marking are also affected. The technical requirements – are also known as “essential requirements”. You must fulfil in order to receive the UKCA marking rely on the legislation that applies to your
product specifically.
The use of approved standards can also help to achieve compliance with these regulations (which the UK introduced to replace EU harmonized standards). Manufacturers might assert a “presumption of conformity” with the pertinent essential requirements that apply to their product by adhering to define standards.
The UKCA is now usable. To provide more flexibility, the government will propose legislation that would maintain reorganisation of the reversed epsilon marking and the CE marking for the majority of goods that are being sold or put into use before midnight December 31, 2024. You should review the regulations that are particular to your product’s industry.
When the UKCA marking comes into use
The UKCA marking may be applied to products that are covered by the UKCA regime as of the first day of the operation of the UKCA system January 1, 2021.
In most cases, if your product was placed on the GB market with a CE mark before 11:59 on December 31, 2024, it does not need to be remarked or recertified to UKCA requirements and can continue to circulate on the GB market until it reaches its end user. This is according to legislation that the government plans to introduce. This also applies in cases where the CE-marked product underwent EU conformity assessment processes and was certified prior to midnight on December 31, 2024.
Characteristics of UKCA
-
- If you change the size of your marking, the UKCA marking’s letters must still be proportionate to the version below.
- Unless a different minimum dimension is stipulated in the relevant regulation, the UKCA marking is at least 5mm in height.
- The UKCA branding is clearly visible, legible and indelible.

When designing and manufacturing equipment, care must be taken to ensure that the electromagnetic disturbance produced is kept below the threshold at which other equipment, such as radio and telecommunications equipment, cannot function as intended, and The equipment is capable of operating without unacceptably impairing its intended use due to a level of immunity to the electromagnetic disturbance predicted in its intended usage.
PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
