The UK Postpones The Deadline For The Product Mark UKCA

The past few years have brought insurmountable changes to the world. In adapting to a new life, new assessments and markings appeared in the process of Britain's withdrawal from Europe. These changes come from Regulation No. 168/2013, which states that products will no longer be subject to the CE marking of EU regulations. On the contrary, the product must comply with UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed).

The new UKCA logo will take effect on January 1, 2021. However, in order to allow companies time to adapt to the new requirements, it will not take effect until January 1, 2022. On August 24, the United Kingdom announced plans to postpone Regulation No. 168/2013 to January 1, 2023. Give companies a little more than a year to change their product standards.

This change comes at a time when people are worried about the impact of the pandemic on businesses. It is hoped that this extension will allocate additional time for companies to apply new products and safety signs. The UKCA mark will be applied to countries such as England, Wales and Scotland. The government and the UKCA have guidance on how to use the new logo and more information about product launches on the market. More information can be found on the official UKCA website.
