1st January to 31st December 2021
2021年1月1日至12月31日
During this time, it will be possible to place on the UK market either products carrying the UKCA mark or a CE mark. However, where that CE mark needs to be supported by certification from a Notified Body (that is, for category II and III PPE), that Body must be based in an EU 27 member state. It will no longer be possible to place CE-marked products on the UK or EU market where the supporting CE certification is from a UK-based Notified Body. Effectively, all CE certifications issued by UK Notified Bodies expired on 31st December 2020. During this time, the manufacturer can affix the UKCA mark to the packaging instead of the product.
在此期间，可向英国市场投放带有UKCA标志或CE标志的产品。但如果CE标志需要获得公告机构的认证支持（即，对于第II类和第III类PPE），则该机构必须位于27个欧盟成员国内。如果支持的CE认证是来自位于英国的公告机构，则将不能再在英国或欧盟市场上投放CE标志产品。实际上，英国公告机构颁发的所有CE认证于2020年12月31日到期。在此期间，制造商可将UKCA标志贴在包装上而非产品上。
1st January to 31st December 2022
2022年1月1日至12月31日
During 2022, it will only be possible to place on the UK market products carrying the UKCA mark. It will no longer be possible to place on the UK market products that only carry a CE mark. During this time, the manufacturer can affix the UKCA mark to the packaging instead of the product.
在2022年期间，将仅能在英国市场上投放带有UKCA标志的产品。不能在英国市场上投放仅带有CE标志的产品。在此期间，制造商可将UKCA标志贴在包装上而非产品上。
From 1st January 2023自2023年1月1日起
After 1st January 2023, it will only be possible to place on the UK market products carrying the UKCA mark. The UKCA mark must ordinarily be affixed to the product. However, if this is not possible (for instance, due to the characteristics of the product), the UKCA mark can be placed on the packaging instead of the product.
在2023年1月1日之后，将仅能在英国市场上投放带有UKCA标志的产品。UKCA标志通常必须贴在产品上。然而，如果不可行（例如，受产品特点所限），UKCA标志可贴在包装上而非产品上。
It is important to note that the UK’s withdrawal from the EU did not affect the validity of existing or future test reports issued by SATRA’s testing facilities in the UK. These test reports will continue to be accepted for certification purposes by SATRA Technology Europe Limited and other PPE Notified Bodies. This is because testing that supports PPE certification does not need to be carried out in the EU.
值得注意的是，英国退出欧盟不影响英国的SATRA检测机构发布的现有或未来检测报告的有效性。这些检测报告将继续为SATRA Technology Europe Limited和其他PPE公告机构所接受以用于认证目的。这是因为支持PPE认证的检测无需在欧盟进行。
The testing laboratories at SATRA are accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) to the internationally-recognised standard ISO/IEC 17025:2017 – ‘General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories’. UKAS, along with other European Accreditation Bodies, is a signatory of the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) Mutual Recognition Agreement.
SATRA的检测实验室经英国皇家认可委员会(UKAS)认可，满足国际公认标准ISO/IEC 17025:2017 - 检测和校准实验室能力的通用要求。UKAS与其他欧洲认可机构共同签署了《国际实验室认可合作组织(ILAC)多边互认协议》。
In conclusion结论
The withdrawal of the UK from the European union has required new national legislation which, initially, mirrors that of the EU. This requires PPE being placed on the UK market, excluding Northern Ireland, to carry a new UKCA mark.This legislation became effective on 1st January 2021. SATRA is now in aposition to certify PPE products for both CE marking and UKCA marking, enabling manufacturers to continue to supply PPE into both the European and UK markets.
英国因退出欧盟而需要新的国家立法，这些立法最初反映了欧盟的立法。其要求在英国市场（不包括北爱尔兰）上投放的PPE带有新的UKCA标志。该立法于2021年1月1日生效。SATRA现在已能够认证PPE产品的CE标志和UKCA标志，使制造商能够继续向欧洲和英国市场供应PPE。
