The UKCA mark is the UK’s replacement for the CE mark, and it demonstrates that a product conforms to the applicable UK legislation and standards. For medical devices, this is governed by the UK Medical Devices Regulations 2002, which are based on the earlier EU Directives.
The UKCA marking applies to:
- Medical devices
- In vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDs)
- Active implantable medical devices
It is mandatory for all new medical devices placed on the market in Great Britain, though CE-marked devices under EU MDR or IVDR may still be accepted until 30 June 2030, under transitional arrangements.
