SEHTA and Psephos are pleased to bring you this FREE TO ATTEND webinar on Brexit/UKCA Marking.
The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) Marking is a new UK product marking that will be used for goods being placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland). It covers most goods which previously required the CE Marking, including medical devices and in vitro diagnostics. Therefore, from 1 January 2021, there will be a number of changes to how companies will be able to place medical devices on the market in Great Britain.
