The Nuts and Bolts of UKCA and UKNI Marking
The presentation will cover an overview of what the UKCA marking means, when it applies, and what pieces of legislation sit behind it. We will run through the obligations of the various economic operators, i.e. manufacturers, importers, distributors, and authorised representatives. We’ll look at how UKCA is similar to CE marking, and how it is different, and we will explore the conformity assessment procedures available under different regulations, how to cover these, what documentation is needed, and what level of testing should be carried out. This will mainly be to cover EMC-specific topics, but we will of course look at the wider compliance landscape covering radio communications, product safety, etc.
