WHAT IS THE UKCA MARK AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT YOUR BUSINESS?



January 7th, 2021.


The new UKCA mark has replaced the CE compliance mark for products sold on the market in Great Britain.


Now that we’ve left the EU, small businesses need to think about changes to how they label their products, including the UKCA.

Do I need to use the UKCA marking?
If you’re selling goods within Great Britain – and they previously needed the CE mark – then yes. As well as goods that have previously needed the CE mark, it’s needed on aerosols which previously needed a ‘reverse epsilon’ marking.

The UKCA came into effect on January 1 2021 once the Brexit transition period ended. However, an adjustment grace period has been allowed so you can still use the CE mark until January 1 2022 while you make adjustments. You should be looking to change to the UKCA mark as soon as possible though.
