UKCA marking guide

Find out if you need to use the UKCA marking and how to use it.

This UKCA marking guide helps UK businesses understand whether they need to use the UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA) mark and how to comply with the requirements. The UKCA mark replaces the CE mark for goods placed on the market in Great Britain and is essential for demonstrating product conformity with UK regulations.

Introduced after Brexit, the UKCA marking applies to most goods that previously required CE marking. Businesses must ensure they use UKCA marking-compatible processes and documentation to remain compliant.

How to Use the UKCA Mark

Determine if your product requires UKCA marking
Use functional compatible software or systems to maintain records
Apply the UKCA mark correctly on products, packaging, and documentation
Ensure your product meets relevant UK legislation and standards
