No, this does not apply to existing stock. For example, if your good was fully manufactured and ready to place on the market before 1st January 2021, you do not need to use the UKCA Marking. The following does apply however;
Only on the GB market
Only until 31 December 2021
From 1st January 2022, you will need to use the UKCA Marking where CE marking was previously required.
Building Regulations and guidance have been amended across the UK several times during 2022, mainly covering fire safety, energy economy and ventilation.
BBA Certificates are to be updated to allow for these new requirements, but users should be aware that this will take some time and that, in the meantime, the Regulations quoted and the associated comments may not be valid. This does not affect the performance characteristics quoted in Certificates and potential users should ensure that these parameters enable a product to satisfy the requirements of the current Regulations.
