How to apply for UK UKCA certification for toys? UKCA is the abbreviation for UK Conformity Assessed. On February 2, 2019, the UK announced that it would adopt the UKCA logo scheme in the absence of an agreement to Brexit. After March 29, trade with the UK will be conducted in accordance with the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO). The UKCA mark, like the CE mark, is the responsibility of the manufacturer to ensure that the product meets the standards stipulated by laws and regulations, and after self declaration according to the prescribed procedures, the corresponding mark is placed on the product.

Most products currently under the control of the CE mark must be affixed with the UKCA mark if they are to be exported to the English Market (England, Wales and Scotland) in the future. The UKCA mark is not applicable to products entering Northern Ireland.
