Simplify UKCA Marking for Medical Devices with Expert Guidance
As the UK moves forward with its post-Brexit regulatory framework, UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) marking has become a critical requirement for medical devices and in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices entering the Great Britain market. Whether you are a manufacturer, distributor, or importer, ensuring compliance with UKCA marking regulations is essential for successful market entry.
What is UKCA Marking?
UKCA marking is the new product certification requirement for devices sold in England, Scotland, and Wales, replacing the CE marking. Administered by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the UKCA mark signifies that a medical device meets the UK’s health, safety, and performance standards.
Who Needs UKCA Marking?
UKCA marking is mandatory for:
UK-based manufacturers producing medical devices for the local market.
Importers and distributors bringing devices into the UK.
Non-UK manufacturers, who must appoint a UK Responsible Person to manage regulatory compliance.
Key Requirements for UKCA Marking
Device Classification: Classify devices (Class I, IIa, IIb, III) per MHRA guidelines.
Conformity Assessment: Verify compliance with safety and performance standards.
Technical Documentation: Compile detailed technical files, including clinical data and intended use descriptions.
UK Responsible Person: Non-UK manufacturers must appoint a representative in the UK.
MHRA Registration: All devices must be registered with the MHRA.
