UKNI Step By Step Guide
10 June 2021
WHAT BUSINESSES NEED TO KNOW?
This guide tells you how to use the new UKNI marking in Northern Ireland. There is a separate guide for placing goods on the market in Great Britain where the UKCA marking must be used.
What is the UKNI marking?
The UKNI marking is a new conformity marking for products placed on the market in Northern Ireland (NI) which have undergone mandatory third-party conformity assessment by a body based in the UK.
The UKNI marking is not used if you are able to self-declare your goods are compliant, under the relevant EU legislation that applies in NI, or if you use an EU Notified Body for any mandatory conformity assessment/testing. In these cases you can still use the CE marking to place goods on the Northern Ireland market.
This guidance explains how to use the marking and the changes to conformity assessment.
