Does the UKCA Mark Replace CE Marking? Current Status

After the United Kingdom left the European Union, new certification requirements took effect for companies placing products on the UK market. One of these is the UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) mark. There is still uncertainty among many companies about whether this mark replaces the CE (Conformite Europeenne) mark.

Differences Between UKCA and CE Marking

CE marking: a conformity mark for companies exporting products to European Union member states. It confirms that products meet EU standards.

UKCA marking: the conformity mark required for companies placing products on the UK market. It confirms that products meet UK standards.

Does the UKCA Mark Replace CE Marking?

The UK government has stated that the UKCA mark will fully replace the CE mark for goods placed on the UK market. The transition takes time, and during the changeover period some products need both CE and UKCA marking.
