Certification Introduction:

UKCA is short for UK Conformity Assessed. The official website of the UK government released the latest UKCA usage guidelines on August 24, 2021. In order to allow enterprises more time to adapt to the new requirements, in most cases, you can still use the CE mark before January 1, 2023. Products placed on the British market from January 1, 2023 must use the UKCA mark, which means that the CE mark in the UK GB (England, Wales and Scotland) market has been extended from January 1, 2022 to 2023 January 1, 2009. UK UKCA marking enforcement date delayed to 1 January 2023.
