What is the UKCA marking?
The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) marking is the new UK
product marking covering most goods currently subject to the EU’s CE marking. Most
manufactured goods will need to use the UKCA marking when placed on the market

You can place the UKCA and CE marking on the same product if
it is destined for both markets so long as the product meets the relevant
regulatory requirements for both markets.

Northern Ireland which are detailed in the links and webinars below.
Businesses involved in the manufacture, importing and
distributing of these goods should take action now to ensure they are
compliant with any new rules by the 1 January 2023.
