The company that is responsible for putting the product on the UK market takes responsibility for marking that product, not necessarily the EU manufacturer.
There is no requirement to UKCA Mark, unless the product is covered by a UK Designated Standard (equivalent to a harmonised European Standard) in which case it is mandatory, as for CE marking.
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.
