A very important change in mandatory product marking came into force on 1 January this year. The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) mark is being phased in to replace the CE mark in the UK and is a critical change in legislation for trades to be aware of. A one-year transition period will ease the changeover and mean all products placed on the market in Great Britain with the CE mark will remain valid until 1 January 2022. The UKCA marking does not apply to existing stock, i.e. products manufactured and ready to place on the market before 1 January 2021. This means that the CE marking on products manufactured and ready to place on the market before 1 January 2021 will still be valid.
