Little knowledge about UKCA certification

01

What is UKCA certification?

UKCA is short for UK Conformity Assessed. On February 2, 2019, the British government announced the UKCA logo scheme that will be adopted in the case of no-deal Brexit. This means that trade with the UK will be conducted in accordance with the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO). EU laws and regulations will no longer apply to the UK. UKCA certification will replace the current CE certification implemented by the European Union, and most products will be included in the scope of certification. On January 31, 2020, the UK/EU Brexit Agreement was approved and formally entered into force. The UK has now entered a transitional period of "Brexit", during which time it will hold consultations with the European Commission. The transition period is scheduled to end on December 31, 2020. When the United Kingdom leaves the European Union on December 31, 2020, the UKCA (UK Certification of Conformity) mark will become the new British product mark.

The Laba Festival, commonly known as "Laba", is celebrated on the eighth day of December in the lunar calendar every year. It is mainly popular in northern China. The custom of this festival is "drinking Laba porridge". Laba is one of the grand festivals in Buddhism. This day is the day when the Buddha Shakyamuni became enlightened. It is also known as the "Magic Treasure Festival", "Buddha Enlightenment Festival", "Enlightenment Society" and so on.

Use of the UKCA logo:

1. Most (but not all) products currently included in the CE mark will be included in the scope of the new UKCA mark;

2. The use rules of the new UKCA mark are consistent with the current CE mark use rules;

3. If the UK leaves the European Union without reaching an agreement, the UK government will notify a time-limited phase. If the product has completed production and conformity assessment before the deadline of March 29, 2019, the manufacturer can still use the CE mark to sell the product on the UK market before the end of the restriction period;

4. If the manufacturer's product plans to perform third-party conformity assessment by the British conformity assessment agency, and the data is not transferred to the EU accreditation body, after March 29, 2019, the product needs to apply for the UKCA mark to enter the UK market;

5. The UKCA mark will not be recognized in the EU market, and products that currently require the CE mark will continue to require the CE mark to be sold in the EU.

Specific requirements for UKCA certification mark:

The UKCA mark consists of the letters "UKCA" in the grid, with "UK" above the "CA". The height of the UKCA symbol must be at least 5mm (unless other sizes are required in specific regulations), and it cannot be deformed or used in different proportions.

The UKCA label must be clearly visible, legible and permanent. This will affect the suitability of different label specifications and materials-for example, products that are exposed to high temperatures and require UKCA marking will need to have durable heat-resistant labels to ensure compliance with regulations.

On September 1, 2020, the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy of the United Kingdom officially announced on the official website: From January 1, 2021, products that require the CE mark in the EU market must have the UKCA mark and the manufacturer’s compliance to enter the UK market.
