UKCA is short for UK Conformity Assessed. On February 2, 2019, the British government announced that it will adopt the UKCA labeling scheme in the case of no agreement to leave the European Union. After March 29, trade with the United Kingdom will be conducted in accordance with the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO). The UKCA mark is the same as the CE mark. The manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the product meets the standards set by the law, and after self-declaration in accordance with the prescribed procedures, the corresponding mark is made on the product. Most products currently under the control of the CE mark must be affixed with the UKCA mark if they are to be exported to the UK market (England, Wales and Scotland) in the future. The UKCA mark does not apply to products entering Northern Ireland.

The UK is currently in the transitional period of Brexit, which will end at the end of 2020. On September 1, 2020, the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy of the United Kingdom officially announced on its official website that the UKCA logo will be used from January 1, 2021.

At present, most of the products covered by the CE mark will also belong to the scope of use of the UKCA mark. It will also be suitable for aerosol products. From January 1, 2021, those products that require the CE mark in the EU market must have the UKCA mark, manufacturer's declaration of conformity, and complete conformity assessment technical documents to enter the UK market. The requirements of the UKCA Declaration of Conformity DoC are also equivalent to the EU CE Marking Declaration of Conformity, but it is necessary to use the corresponding British BS standard on the DoC and declare compliance with UK regulations. As a transitional period, products with the same technical requirements and marking rules of the UK and EU can still accept the CE marking before January 1, 2022. However, if there is a change in the CE marking rules of the product during this period, the CE marking according to the new EU rules will not be accepted by the UK market. Therefore, it is recommended to transition to the use of the UKCA logo as soon as possible.

If a compulsory third-party conformity assessment has been carried out by a conformity assessment body recognized by the European Union, or the previous conformity certificate issued by a British body has been moved to a conformity assessment body recognized by the European Union, the manufacturer can still use the CE mark to sell on the British market product. If you originally used the UK Notified Body and did not transfer the conformity assessment file to the EU Notified Body before January 1, 2021, you must immediately use the UKCA mark from January 1, 2021 and no longer accept the CE mark. Products that have been produced and put on the market before December 31, 2020 can still continue to be sold in the UK market using the existing CE mark. The UKCA mark will not be recognized in the EU market, and products that currently require the CE mark still require the CE mark to be sold in the EU. For products deemed to be within the scope of compulsory regulatory control to enter the UK market, they need to have the UK Conformity Assessment (UKCA) mark after December 31, 2020, and they must contact a third-party agency recognized by the UK. Before January 1, 2023, except for products subject to special rules, the UKCA logo and relevant importer and manufacturer information can be marked on the product body or on the accompanying product documents. In January 2023 After 1 day, it can only be marked on the product body.
