In partnership with:
The timeline to affix UKCA (UK Conformity Assessment) on certain CE marked products have been set and businesses are being advised by the UK government to ensure they are compliant by 1 January 2023. This will be the final deadline with no plans for a further extension.
As the UK has left the European Union, the UKCA mark was introduced in 2021 to indicate conformance to a number of UK regulations primarily focused on protecting the public from unsafe, non-compliant good.
Join us on this on demand webinar where we will answer all your questions relating to UKCA and help you navigate a pathway to achieving UKCA. We will cover what’s expected from you as a manufacturer, how you can comply and next steps towards sustaining your market access.
