Does Northern Ireland require UKCA?

No. The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) mark is only for Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales) and is not recognized or accepted for goods placed on the market in Northern Ireland.

Instead of UKCA, Northern Ireland remains aligned with EU product safety rules, meaning goods require:

• CE Marking: Mandatory for most goods sold in Northern Ireland.
• CE + UKNI Marking: Required if the product’s mandatory third-party conformity assessment was carried out by a UK-based Notified Body. The UKNI mark can never be used alone and cannot be placed on goods sold in the EU.
