The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy has launched its latest update on 1 September: THE UKCA (UK Industrial Strategy) logo is the new UK product logo which will be carried in the UK (England, Scotland and Wales) market from 1 January 2021.
Brief explanation of key points and answers to questions:
1. CE marks conforming to the requirements of the EU can continue to be placed in the British market, and the requirements of the EU and the UK remain unchanged until January 1, 2022. (I.e. from 1 January 2022, the UK will not recognise the CE mark in the areas covered by this Directive and the UKCA mark.)
2. The UKCA mark will apply to most goods currently subject to the CE mark.
3. The CE mark is only valid in areas where UK and EU rules are consistent.
4. The UKCA mark will not be recognized by the EU market.
5. Two sets of technical documents and DoC are required to meet the regulatory requirements of the two markets when the products are put into the EU and UK markets.
6. When legislation or directives require compulsory conformity assessment in a third party, the UKCA needs to be carried out through a UK conformity assessment body.
7. Manufacturers and retailers will not need to make any changes to the stock products that will be available in the UK before 1 January 2021.
8. Some products entering the UK market also need to follow special regulations, such as medical devices, building products, civil explosives, products requiring ecological design and energy labels, etc.
9. Encourage enterprises to make full preparations and use UKCA marks as soon as possible after January 1, 2021.
Therefore, businesses need to act quickly to continue exporting to the UK market (England, Wales and Scotland). If the business has previously only done CE certification with a non-UK notified body, it may be necessary to contact the UKCA Certification authority as soon as possible to apply for UKCA certification.
