UKCA marking

Also called: UK Conformity Assessed

The UK product marking introduced for goods placed on the market in Great Britain after Brexit. The UK has since indefinitely extended recognition of CE marking for most product categories, so UKCA is an alternative rather than a requirement in many sectors.

In practice

Products sold in both the EU and GB can usually keep a single CE marking, but some sectors have specific rules that should be checked.

Applies to: UK
