Certificate description
The UKCA (United Kingdom Conformity Assessed) certificate is a conformity assessment marking adopted by the United Kingdom to indicate that a product meets the relevant legal requirements and standards for the UK market. This marking replaces the CE (Conformité Européenne) marking previously applicable in the UK, as the UK ceased to be part of the EU single market and customs union in January 2021.
[The functions of the UKCA certificate include]
Conformity Assessment: The UKCA certificate confirms that a product complies with the relevant legal requirements and standards for the UK market. Product holders are required to assess their products and ensure they comply with applicable UK regulations.
Market Access: Products holding the UKCA certificate can be placed on the UK market for sale and distribution. In the UK, most products require UKCA certification to be legally sold.
Consumer Confidence: The UKCA marking represents compliance and quality, enhancing consumer confidence in the product.
Legal Compliance: The UKCA certificate serves as important evidence of compliance with UK laws and regulations. Product holders must ensure their products continue to meet the relevant requirements to avoid potential legal liabilities and penalties.
It's important to note that the requirements for the UKCA certificate may vary depending on the type of product and the regulations it falls under. Product holders should ensure their products comply with the applicable regulations and obtain UKCA certification through appropriate testing and assessment procedures.
