UKCA Declaration of Conformity

The transition from the European system of CE marking to the UK equivalent of UKCA is well under way.

From 31st December 2024, it will be illegal to release a product onto the UK market that does not carry the UKCA marking. An important point to note is that this ‘release’ into the market is the point at which a manufacturer ships a component, and items that are already in circulation by this date remain valid for use and re-sale.

For items that are affected by the transition from ATEX to UKEX, the deadline for transition is not until 2025, and items market ATEX can be treated as equivalent although they must still carry a UKCA marking on the product or packaging that can be affixed via a sticker and certified as equivalent via a manufacture declaration of conformity.

Below are a range of links to products that have been ‘stickered’ as equivalents and to their relevant declarations:
