About the event
The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessment) mark is the new UK product marking that is required for certain products being placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland). It covers most products that previously required the CE marking.
Join us as we discuss some of the new terms and definitions that relate to UKCA marking.
Importer, distributor, accreditation, conformity…the list goes on. Our experts will break down what these terms mean in the context of UKCA and what this means for you when placing products on the market.

Once you have attended this webinar you should be able to feel more confident about UKCA marking. Of course you’ll also be able to ask our experts any questions you may have.
