Time extension for UKCA marking

The deadline for when businesses need to use the UKCA mark has been extended. The CE marking and reversed epsilon marking can continue to be used on the GB market until 31 December 2024.

The UKCA marking is the product marking used for products being placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales).

The UKCA marking applies to most products for which the CE marking could be used. It also applies to aerosol products that previously required the reversed epsilon marking. The technical requirements (sometimes referred to as ‘essential requirements’) you must meet for the UKCA marking will depend on the product specific legislation for your product.

The guidance regarding the UKCA marking can be found on the government website.
