The UKCA marking

The UKCA marking

The new UKCA marking declares that the product conforms to all applicable U.K. legislative requirements and that appropriate conformity assessment procedures have been successfully completed. Beginning Jan. 1, 2021, the UKCA marking replaced the CE marking as a requirement for goods entering the Great Britain market, including England, Scotland and Wales. The UKCA marking is required on products subject to the U.K. equivalent legislation to all of the EU directives/regulations that required CE marking, including the Radio Equipment, EMC and Low Voltage directives. Additionally, all U.K.-based EU Notified Bodies will also lose their status on Jan. 1, 2021. All EU Certificates issued by those bodies must be transferred to an EU 27 Notified Body by Dec. 31, 2020 to ensure continued validity.
