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:
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.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is the UK’s competent authority overseeing medical devices. All manufacturers must register their devices with the MHRA before they can be placed on the UK market—even those relying temporarily on CE marking.

JVR Consultancy will guide you in identifying your classification and the appropriate conformity path.
While the UKCA and CE marks are based on similar principles, there are important distinctions:
If you’re planning to supply your device to the NHS, UKCA marking and MHRA registration are prerequisites for procurement eligibility. NHS buyers will also expect:
