What is UKCA Marking?

UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) Marking indicates that a medical device complies with UK MDR 2002 requirements, allowing it to be legally placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Wales, and Scotland).

Is UKCA Marking different from CE Marking?

Yes, UKCA Marking is a separate UK-specific conformity mark required for Great Britain following the UK's departure from the EU, while CE Marking under EU MDR/IVDR remains applicable for the EU market and, under current transitional arrangements, may still be accepted in parts of the UK.

Do all medical devices need a UK Approved Body for UKCA Marking?

No, only higher-risk devices require assessment by a UK Approved Body; lower-risk Class I devices can generally self-certify conformity without third-party involvement.

What is MHRA registration and is it required alongside UKCA Marking?

MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) registration is the process of registering a medical device with the UK regulator before placing it on the Great Britain market, and is required in addition to obtaining UKCA Marking.

What is the UK Medical Devices Information System (MDIS)?

MDIS is the UK's online system used to submit and manage medical device registrations with the MHRA.
