CE Marking is mandated by European Directives. UKCA marking is mandated by UK Statutory Instruments.

Many products are covered by these directives and, to be placed on the European and GB market, must bear the ‘CE’ or ‘UKCA’ mark – it’s a legal requirement.

With Brexit completed it will still remain vitally important for companies to make sure that their product technical files and Declarations of Conformity are comprehensive, up to date and clearly documented whether products are being sold to GB customers or to EU markets.

This seminar is based primarily on the Machinery Directive. It provides guidance on compliance and assists participants to determine the route that is most appropriate, cost-effective and efficient for their product. For the majority of companies, CE and UKCA marking is a self-certification process and involves an evaluation of the product or machine using risk assessments and relevant standards.

The course will be interactive and participative, with opportunities for discussion. On completion, participants should:

• Have gained an understanding of the statutory requirements involved.
• Understand technical requirements and interpret compliance standards.
• Be able to apply risk assessment techniques relevant to CE and UKCA marking.
• Understand the relevant marking process and identify the best route to compliance.
