When to use the UKCA marking
You only need to use the new UKCA marking before 1 January 2022 if all of the following apply. Your product:
-
is for the market in Great Britain
-
is covered by legislation which requires the UKCA marking
-
requires mandatory third-party conformity assessment
-
conformity assessment has been carried out by a UK conformity assessment body
This does not apply to existing stock, for example if your good was fully manufactured, CE marked and ready to place on the market before 1 January 2021. In these cases, your good can still be sold in Great Britain with a CE marking even if covered by a certificate of conformity issued by a UK body before 1 January 2021.
