TÜV SÜD now accredited to conduct certification on the British market
UKCA for pressure equipment - and components
(PresseBox) - In the wake of Brexit, the regulations for placing pressure equipment and components on the GB market have changed. All products for which CE marking was mandatory in the past will require UKCA marking in the future. Even products that have already been certified need a new certificate. The transition period will end on 31 December 2022. TÜV SÜD is the first EU Notified Body to also be appointed as an Approved Body in the UK. Given this, TÜV SÜD offers certification for both the EU and the GB market from a single source.
UKCA is the new UK certification mark and is similar to CE marking in the EU Single Market. It is issued under the supervision of the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). Accredited organisations such as TÜV SÜD verify that manufacturers fulfil the criteria required for affixing the marking to their products. On expiry of the transition period, certification in accordance with the Pressure Equipment (Safety) Regulations and the corresponding UKCA marking will become mandatory to gain access to the GB market. This applies to all pressure equipment and pressure-equipment components placed on the GB market from 1 January 2023 onwards.
TÜV SÜD supports the manufacturers of pressure equipment and components, helping them to meet the new requirements of the British market. “We have been accredited for this scope by UKAS and can thus carry out certification in accordance with the new UK Regulations”, says Winfried Schock from the Plant Safety business line at TÜV SÜD Industrie Service GmbH. “As we are accredited for both the GB market and the EU Single Market, we can also offer all necessary certifications from a single source, thereby ensuring a highly efficient certification process.”
