To ease the burden on businesses in complying with UKCA labelling regulations, while alleviating Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) concerns about a bottleneck in demand for conformity assessment services at the end of the year. On June 20, 2022, the UK government updated the guidance document for placing products on the UK market, as detailed below:
(1) The conformity assessment document for the CE marking completed before December 31, 2022 can be used directly as the basis for the UKCA marking without re-testing. This provision is valid until the expiration of its CE-RED type confirmation certificate or until December 31, 2027, whichever comes first.
(2) For existing stock products that have been imported into the UK market, there is no need to re-test or re-mark the UKCA.
(3) Spare parts imported for the purpose of repairing, replacing or maintaining a product or system already on the UK market may still apply the regulatory requirements that were applicable when the product or system was originally imported into the UK market.
(4) Before December 31, 2025, enterprises will continue to be allowed to choose to mark the UKCA mark on the nameplate of the product itself or on the documents accompanying the product. From January 1, 2026, it can only be marked on the nameplate of the product itself.
(5) For products imported from the EEA (European Economic Area), before December 31, 2025, the importer's information can also continue to be marked on the accompanying documents of the product. From January 1, 2026, it can only be marked on the product itself. Unless the size of the product is too small or the shape of the product does not allow it, the logo is acceptable on the accompanying documents.
(6) For products imported into the UK from regions other than the EEA, according to the original regulations, from January 1, 2023, the importer information needs to be marked on the label of the product body. Marking on accompanying documents is acceptable unless the size or shape of the product is too small to allow it.
The above adjusted requirements do not apply to medical equipment, construction products, transportable pressure equipment, ropeways, unmanned aerial systems, rail products and marine equipment. Relevant departments are making specific arrangements for these special industries. Updates to relevant import labelling and testing will be announced before the end of the year.
