Can I Use the CE Marking Instead of the UKCA Marking?
The short answer is no. The UKCA mark isn’t recognized in the EU, it is a UK only mark. Therefore, any product that requires a CE mark to be sold in the EU will maintain that requirement.
The UKCA mark does not provide conformity in any of the 27 countries of the EU. Consequently, dual marking of numerous products will be required.
