A UK Declaration of Conformity (DoC) must be made for UKCA Marking, this is essentially the same as an EU Declaration of Performance (DoP) for CE Marking, but they must be separate documents. Both documents could duplicate the same information, with the exception of the Notified / Approved Body details and this will remain as such, unless the requirements for either Marking differ.
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.
