UKCA Markings are used where a Designated Standard covers a product, service or process (standards that businesses can use to show their products, services or processes comply with essential requirements of legislation). If a product is NOT covered by a Designated Standard, UKCA Marking is voluntary. In these cases a UKTA will be required to achieve this mark.
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.
