The United Kingdom Conformity Assessed (UKCA) marking is now a legal requirement for most pressure equipment placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Wales, and Scotland), replacing the CE marking post-Brexit. As a regulatory conformity symbol, the UKCA mark signifies that a pressure product complies with the relevant UK legislation, including safety, health, and environmental protection requirements. Understanding, interpreting, and implementing UKCA marking regulations for pressure equipment is essential for manufacturers, importers, distributors, authorized representatives, and notified bodies operating within or in relation to the UK market.

CDG’s comprehensive online course, UKCA Marking Compliance for Pressure Equipment, is an in-depth, self-paced training program designed to empower learners with detailed regulatory knowledge and procedural understanding of UKCA compliance as it applies to pressure equipment. With real-world scenarios, compliance documentation templates, audit readiness guidance, and legislative interpretation, the course provides the complete toolset for successful implementation of UKCA marking obligations across the lifecycle of pressure equipment.

This course is suitable for professionals across engineering, compliance, regulatory affairs, manufacturing, import/export, quality assurance, and certification bodies. Whether you are transitioning from CE marking to UKCA, entering the UK market for the first time, or simply aiming to upgrade your knowledge base, this course meets the needs of learners at every level.
