UKCA certification, also known as United Kingdom Conformity Assessed, is a new UK product safety certification mark. The purpose of the UK government's launch of this logo is to replace the CE logo with it after Brexit, as a conformity assessment mark for most goods in the UK's Great Britain region.
At present, the usage rules of the UKCA logo are the same as those of the CE logo, but the UK government will introduce legislation in the future to extend the period for attaching the UKCA logo to self-adhesive labels or accompanying documents.
Due to the Brexit agreement between the UK and Europe, the UKCA logo is currently only applicable to products placed on the market in the Great Britain region (England, Scotland, and Wales).
The UKCA logo alone cannot be used for products launched in the Northern Ireland market. Products placed in the Northern Ireland market require the use of the CE logo or both the CE logo and UKNI logo.
