Bureau Veritas CPS UK
Receives UKCA Accreditation

Oct. 14 2022

Bureau Veritas CPS UK are accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) to ISO/IEC 17065:2012. This is the basis upon which they are recognised by the UK Government as an approved UK Conformity Assessment Body.

BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Post Brexit, clients now face an additional challenge to get their products certified for all of the markets that
they wish to sell them on. From 31 December 2022*, to place new products onto the UK market (England,
Scotland and Wales), the UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) marking will be required on most products subject to the CE marking.


SOME OF THE PRODUCTS REQUIRING UKCA

Toys, electromagnetic compatibility, measuring container bottles, equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres (UKEX), radio equipment, personal protective equipment (PPE), gas appliances, equipment for use outdoors, ecodesign, aerosols, low voltage electrical equipment.

SOLUTION

BV CPS UK is an accredited Approved Body who can already offer UKCA certification for equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres (UKEX). We have the capability to expand our scope into other product areas where there is a demand from our clients, and by working closely with our existing network of EU Notified bodies, we can offer our clients a one stop CE and UKCA testing and certification service.
