CE Marking & UKCA Marking Compliance for Electrical Cables
UKCA Compliance
It was previously intended that UKCA marking would be mandatory as of 1st January 2025, as applied to cables being imported into and installed in the UK. UKCA Marking was to be the UK equivalent of CE Marking recognising products that are deemed to meet the standards and safety requirements for sale in the country.
The implementation of this requirement has been put on hold by the UK Government and as of January 2024, the current status is that "The government intends to legislate to continue recognition of EU requirements, including the CE marking, indefinitely for a range of product regulations this spring. This will mean businesses have the flexibility to use either the UKCA or CE marking to sell products in Great Britain (GB)”
As such, UKCA marking is not mandatory. In the event UKCA marking is required by a customer we will work to ensure this is delivered in a compliant manner.
All applicable cables remain compliant with relevant legislation and regulatory frameworks, be they CE marked or UKCA marked.
