CPR Introduction
10. What is UKCA and UKNI?
UKCA stands for UK Conformity Assessed. The UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA) mark is due to replace the European Union’s CE markings on products sold in England, Wales and Scotland.
Effective as of January 1, 2023, it is a new product marking for goods sold into the UK entering the
market.
The UK approval scheme is a mirror of the current CPR CE scheme, with all EN standards becoming UK designated standards and are identical to their EN equivalents.
The scheme mirrors the EU Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP)
systems, the testing and factory production audit processes.
GB: Goods need to be UKCA marked. Classes Eca and above need to have been tested/ classified by an approved body (GB only).
EU: Goods need to be CE marked. Classes Eca and above need to have been tested/classified by a notified body (EU Only).
NI: Goods need to be CE or UKNI marked. (UKNI are goods tested/classified in GB by an approved body. These goods cannot be sold into the EU).
