UKCA Certification
Certification Introduction
UKCA is short for UK Conformity Assessed. On February 2, 2019, the British government announced that it would adopt the UKCA logo scheme in the event of a no-deal Brexit. After March 29, trade with the UK will be conducted in accordance with the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO). The UKCA mark is the same as the CE mark. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to ensure that the product meets the standards stipulated by the law, and after self-declaration in accordance with the prescribed procedures, make the corresponding mark on the product.
Most products currently under the control of the CE mark must be affixed with the UKCA mark if they are to be exported to the UK market (England, Wales and Scotland). The UKCA mark does not apply to products entering Northern Ireland.
Certification Background
On September 1, 2020, the UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy officially announced on its official website: From January 1, 2021, the UKCA logo will be used.
At present, most products covered by the CE mark will also fall within the scope of use of the UKCA mark. It will also work with aerosol products.
From January 1, 2021, those products that require CE marking in the EU market will need to have the UKCA marking, manufacturer's declaration of conformity and complete conformity assessment technical documentation to enter the UK market. The requirements of the UKCA declaration of conformity DoC are also equivalent to the declaration of conformity of the EU CE mark, but the corresponding British BS standards must be used on the DoC and declared in line with UK regulations.
Scope of Application
• Toy safety • Leisure boats and private watercraft
• Simple pressure vessel • Electromagnetic Compatibility
• Non-automatic weighing instruments • measuring instrument
• Lift • Explosion-proof
• Radio equipment • Pressure equipment
• Personal protective equipment • Gas appliances
• Mechanical • Outdoor noise
• Ecological Design • Aerosol
• Low voltage electrical appliances • Hazardous Substance Restriction
Products covered by the UKCA logo, but with some special rules:
• Medical equipment • Railway Interoperability
• Construction products • Civilian explosives
UKCA Mark use Issues
Manufacturers can still use the CE mark to sell on the UK market if a mandatory third-party conformity assessment has been carried out by an EU-recognized conformity assessment body, or if a previous certificate of conformity issued by a UK body has been moved to an EU-recognized conformity assessment body product. If the UK Notified Body was originally used and the conformity assessment file was not transferred to the EU Notified Body before January 1, 2021, the UKCA mark must be used immediately from January 1, 2021, and the CE mark will no longer be accepted.
The UKCA mark will not be recognized in the EU market, and products that currently require CE marking still require CE marking for sale in the EU. Products deemed to be within the scope of mandatory regulatory control to enter the UK market will require a UK Conformity Assessment (UKCA) mark after 31 December 2020 and must contact a UK accredited third party body.
Until 1 January 2023, except for products to which special rules apply, the UKCA logo and relevant importer and manufacturer information can be marked on the product itself or on the documentation accompanying the product, while January 2023 After 1 day, it can only be marked on the product body.
