26 May 2022
The Government’s business department, BEIS (Department for Business Energy & Industrial Strategy), has launched a new set of webinars on UKCA and UKNI conformity assessment marking and the phasing out of CE. The webinars cover:
- Economic operators and routes for conformity assessment
- Understanding marking and labelling
- Placing goods on the market in Great Britain
- Placing goods on the market in Northern Ireland
- Understanding the UK regulatory regime: focus on construction products.
There are also Q&A and one-to-one sessions. The sessions started on May 24th and run through June and July. Details were placed on an updated gov.uk web page this week: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/webinars-for-using-the-ukca-marking-and-placing-goods-on-the-market-in-great-britain-and-northern-ireland

How prepared is your company, for the introduction of the UKCA / UKNI mark at the start of 2023?
BFPA would like to try and establish how prepared our members are for the implementation of UKCA marking by the end of 2022, and have put a few questions together to ask you about this, which we would be grateful if you could respond to.

*Meanwhile, foreign secretary Liz Truss announced recently that if agreement cannot be reached with the EU on the Northern Ireland Protocol, a new bill will be introduced. One consequence of the bill is expected to be that, once enacted, both UKNI and UKCA marks will be acceptable in Northern Ireland.
BFPA continues, via the Engineering and Machinery Alliance – EAMA, to engage with BEIS and other government bodies on both the UKCA and UKNI issues
