Pay Attention To The Latest Certification Requirements Of Products Exported To The UK

With the conclusion of brexit agreement, according to the latest guidelines issued by the British government, the ukca mark will be officially put into use from January 1, 2021. British Importers should ensure that products entering the UK market have conformity assessment and technical documents, and indicate the company name of the UK importer. In the past, CE certification was required for domestic products exported to the European Union, and the ukca logo must be attached to the products to be exported to the UK market (England, Wales and Scotland).

The UK has set up a transitional period for the launch of ukca logo this time. Before January 1, 2022, CE mark products can continue to be put on the market in most cases, only the ukca mark needs to be pasted. After 1 January 2022, only ukca mark must be used to show compliance with relevant UK regulations. In addition, products manufactured before December 31, 2020 can still be sold in the UK market using the existing CE mark.

The EU is the largest export target market of Wujiang, and the UK was once an important member state. With the dust settled after brexit, the UK officially launched a new product certification mark. Wujiang customs reminds relevant export enterprises: first, pay attention to the relevant process, declaration of conformity and standard requirements of UK CA product certification, especially the difference with CE certification, and carry out risk assessment and product verification as soon as possible to avoid the return of products due to non-compliance with British standards. The second is to pay attention to the time node of UK ukca certification. Ukca certification has a one-year transitional period. During this period, CE mark and ukca mark can coexist, and only ukca mark can be pasted after the transition period.
