UKCA Certification – Essential Requirements for Selling Products in the UK

  • UKCA certification is the UK’s product conformity marking for goods placed in Great Britain.
  • It replaces the CE marking post-Brexit and is mandatory for most regulated products.
  • Indian manufacturers exporting to the UK need UKCA marking to stay compliant.
  • The UKCA conformity assessment India process varies by product type and risk classification.
  • Partnering with UK-approved bodies like Diligence Certifications simplifies the UKCA certification journey.

Introduction

If you’re exporting machinery, electronics, medical devices, or consumer goods from India to Great Britain, you must comply with UKCA certification requirements. Since Brexit, CE marking is no longer valid in the UK. The UKCA mark is now mandatory—and failure to comply could lead to customs holds or outright bans on selling your products.

Indian exporters frequently ask: “How is UKCA different from CE? Can we do this from India?”

You need to follow UK-specific conformity processes, submit documentation aligned with UK law, and mark your product with the UKCA symbol. Preferably, work with a UK-approved body who understands both Indian manufacturing and British standards.

This guide, brought to you by Diligence Certifications, details everything from conformity assessments to labeling guidelines, with examples from real Indian exporters.

UKCA Certification

What Is UKCA Certification?

The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) mark is the official certification mark demonstrating that a product satisfies the relevant safety, health, environmental and other regulations to be saleable in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). The UKCA mark was introduced after Brexit and now replaces the CE mark for most products and is mandatory for a wide variety of products entering the UK market.

In simple terms, UKCA is your product’s passport to the UK market.

“UKCA replaces the CE mark in England, Scotland and Wales. Indian exporters should view this as a mandatory compliance step.”

If you are an Indian manufacturer or exporter, this means that your product must meet British standards, and not just European ones. This means the right tests required, the right certified bodies recognized in the UK, and the right labelling with the UKCA mark.

CE vs UKCA – What’s the Difference?

UK-specific safety legislation

Since Jan 1, 2023, CE is not valid in Great Britain.

Products for Northern Ireland must use CE or CE+UKNI marks, not UKCA alone.

UKCA Process

Who Needs UKCA Certification in India?

Indian manufacturers and exporters must apply for UKCA if their goods fall under regulated categories. This includes:

  • Electrical and electronic devices
  • Machinery and industrial equipment
  • Pressure vessels and boilers
  • Medical devices
  • Toys and child-use products
  • PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)

Even if your CE certificate is current, you still need to repeat conformity assessments under UK law.

A Pune-based HVAC exporter lost over £80,000 in UK contracts in 2023 for missing UKCA deadlines.

A Delhi-based SME in kitchen appliances completed CE in 2021 but had to re-do noise testing under UK regulations for UKCA in 2023.

These businesses learned the hard way that relying on EU documentation post-Brexit is not sufficient. UKCA is an entirely separate legal and procedural framework.

UKCA Conformity Assessment in India: Step-by-Step

The UKCA Certification Process for Indian Exporters

  1. Identify Applicable UK Directives
    • Understand which UK regulations apply to your product category.
    • This determines the conformity route: self-declaration or third-party.
  2. Conduct Risk Assessment
    • Identify hazards linked to your product’s design, materials, and use.
    • Assess severity, likelihood, and necessary controls.
  3. Engage a UK-approved body (if needed)
    • High-risk products like PPE, medical devices, and electronics require testing and certification from a UK Notified Body.
  4. Compile Technical Documentation
    • Create a complete technical file showing compliance. This includes testing, drawings, manuals, and risk evaluations.
  5. Apply the UKCA Mark
    • Place the UKCA logo correctly on the product, manual, and box.

Keep the Declaration of Conformity on file.

UKCA Marking Process – Simplified View

“Indian brands exporting to the UK must approach UKCA compliance like they do BIS in India: strategic, early, and guided.”

Self-declaration is allowed for low-risk products. However, high-risk categories (e.g., electronics, PPE) require UK-approved body involvement.

Examples of Self-Declaration vs Third-Party Testing

Product Category

Allowed Self-Declaration?

UK Body Needed?

Textile bags

Yes

No

LED lighting devices

No

Yes

Medical syringes

No

Yes

Wooden furniture

Yes

No

Documents typically required:

  • Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
  • Functional test report
  • EMC testing report
  • Packaging compliance details (labelling, recycling instructions)

Here’s a rewritten version of the “Timeline, Validity & Cost of UKCA Certification” section in a more advisory tone — without showing exact pricing or timelines, and directing readers to contact Diligence Certifications for precise estimates:

Timeline, Validity & Cost of UKCA Certification

The time, cost, and validity of UKCA certification can differ widely depending on your product category, risk level, and UK regulations. Generally speaking, here’s a way to guide your planning:

Estimated Timelines

Simple or low-risk products prepared for self-declaration typically take a few weeks to get signed off.

High-risk or complicated products that require testing and/or assessment by a UK approved notified body can take anywhere from several weeks months to several months, depending on the testing required and how busy the lab is.

Need a provided estimate based on your product? Contact Diligence Certifications for a free assessment to determine if you are ready for UKCA and an estimate for when you can reasonably expect certification.

What Does It Cost?

The cost of UKCA certification depends on:

  • The number of product variants
  • Whether third-party testing is needed
  • Applicable UK regulations
  • Documentation complexity and translation requirements

Some bundled products (like smart home kits or medical device assemblies) may require multiple assessments, especially if components fall under different directives.

Rather than providing a fixed range, we recommend contacting Diligence Certifications for a custom quote based on your specific product line.

Validity & Renewal

UKCA certificates are usually valid for years–typically 5 to 10–regardless of regulation. 

Validity can reduce with:

  • Changes to UK product regulations or standards
  • Changes to the design or safety of the product
  • Annual or periodic surveillance requirements (such as for medical devices, PPE and high hazard situations)

If the product in subject to conditions of use or compliance, you may have to submit to compliance surveillance or annual recertification. Paying closer attention to your timelines will assist you in maintaining your status. 

UK retailers and marketplaces usually will not allow you to list products without proof of UKCA compliance; you will want to initiate your UKCA process outline early to ensure you do not delay shipments or have listings withdrawn–start during product development and factory trials if you can. 

UKCA Labeling Guidelines

Where to Place the UKCA Mark:

  • Product body (preferably etched or printed)
  • User manual
  • Packaging

Font Size: Minimum 5mm
Color: Contrast with background; black recommended on light surfaces
Proportions: Must not be distorted or stretched

Dual Marking (CE + UKCA):

  • Only allowed for products sold in both markets
  • Conformity documentation must support both schemes

Never place the UKCA mark before conformity is fully verified. This is a compliance offense.

UKCA vs CE Certification: Should You Do Both?

Exporting to both EU and UK? You’ll need dual conformity:

  • CE for Europe
  • UKCA for Great Britain

A Mumbai PPE brand duplicated CE files but skipped a UK-specific chemical test—3-week shipping delay followed.

Many technical documents can be reused with tweaks, but testing reports must come from UK-approved labs.

Role of UK Responsible Person (UKRP)

If you’re exporting medical devices, you must appoint a UK Responsible Person.

  • Acts as your UK agent
  • Maintains technical file access for regulators
  • Communicates with MHRA (UK’s health authority)
  • Must be listed on labeling and DoC

Diligence Certifications can connect you to UKRP professionals within 48 hours.

UKCA for E-Commerce Sellers

Selling via Amazon UK, eBay, or Shopify?

  • UKCA still applies
  • You must ensure your listing mentions compliance
  • Product returns and reviews may impact compliance visibility

Amazon requires proof of conformity for electronics under new FBA rules (as of Q2 2024)

Ensure documents uploaded to Amazon’s compliance portal include:

  • DoC (Declaration of Conformity)
  • Product image with visible UKCA mark

Safety certificate or test report

Conclusion

UKCA certification is foundational to purchasing compliance in the UK – it’s not just a box to tick! All exporters from Bengaluru to Noida must consider it the essential means for trust and legal market access.

So, whether you are launching a new electronic gizmo, or re-marketing PPE kits for UK Hospitals, UKCA stamp on your product ensures your product is welcome and looks its best for market in Great Britain’s post-Brexit era.

Need some help?  Diligence Certifications makes compliance with the UKCA conformity assessment in India a breeze with expert-led resource consulting, documentation building and providing UK certification body access.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, not every product requires UKCA certification; only those products affirm by UK statue, specifically regulators products, electrical, toys, PPE and medical devices. Unregulated commercial products are required to have basic compliance declarations.

No. Since January 1, 2023, on products sold in Great Britain the CE mark is no longer accepted. The UK regulations require a separate conformity assessment process, and the UKCA mark must be applied, even if you have already conformed to CE.

Yes. Many UK approved bodies will engage Indian consultants, and accept documents digitally. Testing may have to be done or validated through UK accredited laboratories for higher risk products.

This depends greatly:

  • Simple self-declared products: 2-4 weeks
  • Complex or high-risk products (with third party testing): 6-12 weeks
  • Reducing your documentation preparation times will greatly reduce the time involved.

Only for certain product types, e.g., medical devices. The UKRP will be your legal representative in the UK, and liaise with regulatory body's e.g., MHRA. This is not necessary for general consumer products.

Prices vary from ₹75,000 to ₹4,00,000+, depending on the complexity of the product and the need for testing and third-party assessment. Bundled products can also require multiple tests (eg. electronics + charger).

Some things that may occur are your shipment gets stopped at customs, your products may be removed from supermarket shelving, and you could be fined or worse. Online retailers, like Amazon and major stores like Tesco, also require UKCA compliance before you can sell new products. 

Yes—but only if your product meets UK and EU requirements respectively on its own. This is called dual conformity. Both instances MUST have compliance testing and declarations that clearly reference UK and EU legislation. 

It is preferred:

  • On the product (etched or printed)
  • On the packaging
  • In the instruction manual or other documentation
  • The minimum size is 5mm and proportions must be followed. 

Yes. Even if you are a dropshipper or using FBA Amazon UK requires documentation proofs for regulated goods, such as electronics, toys and such.

Not necessarily. Certificates are usually issued for between 5 and 10 years, but higher-risk categories may require annual audits or surveillance. When key aspects of the product or regulatory elements change, a re-certification may be required. 

In some lower-risk categories, self-declaration is used. However, for products such as PPE, electronics, or even pressure equipment, testing through a UK-approved body is required and by UK safety standards.
