CE vs. UKCA- What's The Difference?

CE marking and UKCA marking are both conformity marks that indicate products meet essential safety, health, and environmental requirements, but they apply to different markets.

CE marking allows manufacturers to sell products throughout the European Economic Area (EEA), demonstrating compliance with relevant EU directives and regulations.

UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) marking was introduced following Brexit and is used for products placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales). While CE marking remains valid in Northern Ireland under specific circumstances, most products sold in Great Britain now require UKCA marking.

The two marks operate under similar principles of self-declaration and conformity assessment, but businesses selling in both markets may need to obtain both marks and ensure compliance with the respective regulatory frameworks of each region.

What is a DoC?

A Declaration of Conformity (DoC) is a mandatory legal document issued by a manufacturer (or their authorized representative) to affirm that their product meets all relevant health, safety, and environmental requirements for sale in the European Union (EU) or the United Kingdom (UK).

Signing the DoC means the manufacturer accepts full legal responsibility for the product's compliance!
