UKCA marking
Also known as UKCA mark, UK Conformity Assessed.
UKCA marking (UK Conformity Assessed) is the UK's post-EU-exit conformity assessment mark, introduced to replace the CE mark for products sold into Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales). Northern Ireland continues to use CE marking under the Windsor Framework arrangements.
Industrial relevance
Industrial sonic horns destined for British power plants, cement works, WtE facilities and refineries fall under UKCA scope. UK government has repeatedly extended the transitional period during which CE-marked products remain acceptable; current acceptance arrangements should be checked at the time of any specific transaction.
