UKCA Marking for Construction
Since 1 January 2023, the UKCA mark for construction must be used for placing goods on the market in Great Britain. Whether you're navigating post-Brexit requirements or managing dual CE/UKCA certification, Element's comprehensive UKCA Marking for Construction services ensure compliance while minimizing disruption to your business. Our experts can help you with the entire process and ensure a fast, compliant route to market.
What is Construction UKCA Marking at Element?
UKCA Marking (an abbreviation for ‘UK Conformity Assessed’) is a mark which indicates construction products meet requirements for sale in the UK – as such, it provides a passport to trade. As of 2025, this mark replaces the CE mark for products sold in Great Britain. Through Element's integrated UK and EU certification network, you get seamless support for both UKCA and CE marking requirements. We guide you through the entire process, from initial assessment to Declaration of Performance (DoP), helping you meet the June 2025 deadline while maintaining market access.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use both CE and UKCA marking on my products?
Yes, you can apply both marks to products sold internationally. Ensure you meet all requirements for each mark to maintain compliance in respective markets.
What action is required for non-UK manufacturers?
You must identify a UK address (importer or Authorised Representative) and ensure UKCA marking compliance by June 2025 for products sold in Great Britain.
What are the specific UKCA marking requirements for my product?
Your UKCA mark must be at least 5mm tall, maintain official logo proportions, be clearly legible, and include manufacturer/importer details nearby. When affixing the mark, you take legal responsibility for product conformity with relevant regulations.
How does the Northern Ireland Protocol affect UKCA marking?
Under the Northern Ireland Protocol, you cannot use UKCA marking alone for the Northern Ireland market. You must use either CE marking from an EU Notified Body or the UKNI mark if using a UK approval body.
