Product Certification Service Organization

1. Introduction to Certification

The full name of UKCA is UK Conformity Assessed Marking, and the Chinese is the British conformity assessment mark. It is a new product mark launched by the United Kingdom to ｒｅｐｌａｃｅ the use of the CE mark in the British market. The scope of application of the UKCA mark applies to England, Wales and Scotland, but not to Northern Ireland, covering most of the products that previously required the CE mark. Manufacturers can continue to use the CE mark on their products to enter the Great Britain market until 1 January 2025. Products on the British market from January 1, 2025 must be marked with the UKCA logo in accordance with relevant regulations.
