Brexit is done! UKCA marking is comming. |
Posted by Administrator (admin) on Jan 08 2021 |
Important to know: Since 01-01-21 the UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) marking is substituting the CE marking for goods being placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland excl. North Ireland).
The technical requirements you must meet – and the conformity assessment processes and standards that can be used to demonstrate conformity – are largely the same as they were for the CE marking. This process has to be completed until 01-01-22.
The CE marking is only valid in Great Britain for areas where GB and EU rules remain the same. If the EU changes its rules and you CE mark your product on the basis of those new rules you will not be able to use the CE marking to sell in Great Britain, even before 31 December 2021.
The UK standards are currently the same in substance and with the same reference as the standards used in the EU. (01-01-21)

The fight against the spread of the Coronavirus
Unfortunately, the Coronavirus Corvid-19 is spreading rapidly around the world. Business trips are almost impossible. Many companies have instructed their employees to do home office or they prohibit meetings and workshops. innotec has been working successfully with its own employees in the home office concept for many years and has also many years of experience to implement projects from afar by using internet services. This also reduces travel costs and CO2 emissions.
