Questions and Answers:
Question: Do manufacturers need to obtain a certificate from a Notified Body to apply the UKCA Mark, or can they simply test to British Standards using an accredited lab and apply the mark as with CE marking?
Answer: The conformity assessment procedures for UKCA are aligned with EU procedures, and while BS standards are no longer mandatory, you may still need a UKCA certificate. For further information, visit the UK Government Guidance on Designated Standards.
Before January 1, 2022:
- For designated standards: Apply UKCA Declaration of Conformity (DoC), or optionally, obtain a UKCA certificate.
- For non-designated standards: A UKCA certificate or EU-type examination certificate is required for compliance.
After December 31, 2021:
- For designated standards: Apply UKCA Declaration of Conformity (DoC) or obtain a UKCA certificate.
- For non-designated standards: UKCA certificate is required for all products.
A UKCA certificate can only be obtained from an approved certification body for UK regulations.
If you possess a valid EU RED type examination certificate, we can help you transition it to a UKCA TEC. Please submit:
- Copy of a valid EU-type examination certificate;
- Product label showing UKCA marking;
- Technical documentation from the EU certification;
- Details of how the UK Radio Regulations have been met.
For additional UKCA marking guidance, refer to the UKCA Marking Guidance.
