UKCA(英国合格评定)标志是在英国(英格兰)市场上投放的商品的新英国产品标志, 威尔士, 和苏格兰). It covers most goods that previously required the CE标志.

 

What is the UKCA marking? 

UKCA(英国合格评定)标志现已生效,以取代在英国销售产品的制造商的CE标志.e. United Kingdom excluding Northern Irel和). The UKCA mark will work in the same way as the CE mark, 这意味着产品在英国市场上销售之前需要根据UKCA的要求进行评估.

 

What are UKCA requirements? 

Where the EU maintained lists of harmonized st和ards, so too does the UK maintain lists of 指定的标准, which can be used to support the UKCA declaration of conformity. Each UK Regulation has its own list of st和ards. Some of these lists will differ from the analogous EU list, 因此,欧盟和英国的符合性声明可能使用不同的标准. 

英国政府将允许制造商在2024年12月31日之前进行CE标志的符合性评估活动,作为UKCA标志的基础, until 31 December 2027.

 

What products need the UKCA marking?

目前覆盖在CE标志下的大多数产品将属于新的UKCA要求. There are exceptions 和 different rules for certain products, including medical devices, construction products, 和车辆.

im体育APP is an approved body, 我们与制造商合作,帮助一系列产品获得UKCA标志, 包括:

  • Electrical 和 电子 equipment
  • 无线电设备
  • 低压设备
  • Equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres
  • 船用设备

 

What is the UKCA timeline? 

2021年1月起, businesses placing products onto the UK market, regardless of where in the world they are based, 可以选择使用CE标志还是开始应用UKCA标志. As of 2024年12月31日, the option to use the CE mark will cease, 和 the UKCA mark must be used (save for some limited exceptions). 尽管欧盟委员会和英国海关总署的规定大致相似, some differences must be observed.

To reduce 标签 costs, 到2027年12月31日,英国政府将允许企业在随附的文件或标签上加上UKCA标志,并包括来自欧洲经济区国家产品的进口商信息.

 

UKCA mark guidance: are you ready? 

Initially, there was a transition period until 1 January 2022 when CE标志 will continue to be recognized in the UK. 然而, in response to the impact of the p和emic on businesses, 英国政府已将某些产品申请UKCA标志以证明符合产品安全法规的截止日期延长至 2024年12月31日.

除了, 2022年6月, 英国政府出台了进一步的“缓和措施”,以顺利实施UKCA标志. 这些措施包括将一些最后期限延长至2028年1月1日.

必须详细了解你的义务,并为实施该条约进行一切必要的准备工作. 这要求您满足所有新的UKCA要求,例如:

  • 产品 marking 标签 requirements (“Easement measures” may apply)
  • Produced a UKCA declaration of conformity
  • 产品 compliance with the current Designated St和ards

这些 指定的标准 are listed by the UK Government 和 technical requirements.

If you are importing manufactured goods into Great Britain, then additional 标签 requirements may apply for importers.

For holders of EU Notified Body certificates for CE标志, before the UKCA marking can be applied, there will need to be a certification from the UK Approved Body. 在2024年12月31日之后,您的欧盟型式检验证书可能无法完全有效, 但英国政府的“地役权措施”可能允许您在此日期之后的有限时间内使用它们.

制造商或其授权代表负责在产品上加贴UKCA标志,以声明产品符合相关要求.

UKCA mark self-declaration 

因为合格评定程序基本保持不变, this means the option for self-declaration still exists, 但仅适用于符合CE标志规则的自我声明的产品. Each directive 和 regulation has different criteria for this, 因此,最好在将任何产品投放市场之前进行检查.

UKCA符合性声明将看起来与英国符合性声明非常相似, but will refer to the UK legislation instead of the EU legislation. There may also be a requirement to list new st和ards.

对于某些产品, the self-declaration alone will not be sufficient, 并且可能需要认可机构为该产品签发英国型式检验证书. 如果有疑问, im体育APP可以就任何给定产品的适当合格评定程序提供建议.

 

What does it mean for my business? 

所有这些都意味着企业现在应该采取行动,确保在2024年12月31日的最后期限之前做好一切准备. 一般来说, 根据相应的英国法规,每个CE标志指令都已转换为英国法律.

例如, Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU已转换为2016年电磁兼容性法规(经修订), 无线电设备指令2014/53/EU已转换为2017年无线电设备规则(经修订)。. Despite some changes in the text, the essential technical requirements remain largely the same, as do the options for conformity assessment procedures.
