Ofcom / UKCA Marking

Post-Brexit, the UKCA marking has replaced the CE mark for most radio equipment placed on the market in Great Britain. The UK Radio Equipment Regulations 2017 govern the technical requirements. We help you transition from CE-RED to UKCA compliance, drafting the specific UK Declaration of Conformity and ensuring your technical file meets the British regulatory framework. While technical standards remain largely aligned with EU standards, the administrative requirements for labeling and representation are distinct.
