GUIDANCE FOR CFA MANUFACTURER MEMBERS ON UKCA, UKNI & CE MARKINGS

The requirements for selling goods into different markets are changing from 1 January 2021. There are new product markings which need to be used dependent on where products will be sold: UKCA and UKNI.

1. Northern Ireland from 1 January 2021: If you are selling goods in the Northern Ireland market you may need both the CE mark and the new UKNI mark. Full guidance is available on the Gov.uk website.

2. Great Britain from 1 January 2021: For the rest of the UK, the new UKCA mark will replace the existing CE mark of conformity. Full guidance is available on the Gov.uk website.

3. EU from 1 January 2021: Products sold into the EU market, including the Republic of Ireland, will require a CE mark, and conformity assessment will need to be carried out by an EU-recognised conformity assessment body. UK bodies will no longer be able to do this unless there is an agreement to permit it. Full information is on the Gov.uk website.

CFA members can access further guidance in the Brexit Information section of the member login area.
