What is the UKCA mark?
The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessment) mark is the new UK product marking that will be required for certain products being placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland). It covers most products that previously required the CE mark.
It will not be recognized in the EU market. Products that require CE marking will still need a CE marking to be sold in the EU.
What products does the UKCA mark apply to?
Most products that are currently covered under regulations and directives for CE marking will fall under the scope of UKCA marking.
