UKCA Marking Programme

AVK meets its UKCA marking requirements a year ahead of schedule. 07-02-2022

Following the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union, new regulations have been introduced to replace the CE mark for products being sold (‘placed’) in Britain. As of 1 January 2023, all relevant products will have to carry UKCA – United Kingdom Conformity Assessed – markings.

All AVK UK products covered by the Construction Products Regulation and the Pressure Equipment Regulations – have now completed the UKCA process and are dual marked CE and UKCA. These new markings will apply to over 70,000 gas valves and water hydrants manufactured by AVK companies in the UK in 2022.

Robin Morewood, Head of Technical and Product Development at AVK UK, has led the Group’s UKCA marking programme:

‘AVK UK was ideally placed to comply with UKCA marking requirements as our quality system is built around the relevant regulations. The UKCA process entailed the creation of new instructions, new declarations of conformity, and new essential safety requirements. 
Our water and gas customers can rest assured that all AVK UK products are already correctly marked and labelled in line with UKCA requirements well in advance of the legal deadline.’
