UKCA MARKING

Since UK left the European Union, the UKCA marking has replaced the CE marking. Starting from 2022 the PPE put on the UK market must be UKCA marked.

The UK law related to PPE mirrors the EU law (Regulation EU 2016/425), with the exception that only the “UK Approved Bodies” are allowed to issue UKCA certifications rather than the “European Notified Bodies”. The European “harmonized standards”, under the name of “designated standards”, constitute the technical basis for the UKCA conformity assessment.
