United Kingdom (GB)
Selling a product in United Kingdom (GB)
UKCA applies in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales); it is not used in Northern Ireland, which has separate arrangements. The UK continues to recognise the CE marking, alongside or in place of the UKCA marking, for most goods on the Great Britain market — businesses can choose which conformity process to use. Some sectors (construction products, medical devices, rail products, marine equipment) have their own rules. UKCA may currently be placed on a label or accompanying document until 31 December 2027.
