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.
