2 February 2022 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 1 February 2022  the Gov.UK<\/a> website updated their Guidance on Using the UKNI Marking<\/a>. It was originally published on 31 December 2020. This is guidance for placing goods on the Northern Ireland market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UKNI mark applies for Northern Ireland specifically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contents of the current UKNI Guidance is<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. Overview<\/a><\/li>
  2. Check whether you need to use the UKNI marking<\/a><\/li>
  3. When to use the UKNI marking<\/a><\/li>
  4. How to use the UKNI marking<\/a><\/li>
  5. Technical documentation<\/a><\/li>
  6. Webinars<\/a><\/li>
  7. More information<\/a><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The Guidance document also points users of the Guidance to the other Marking of concern. It states “For similar obligations that apply when using other conformity markings, see how to use the UKCA<\/abbr> marking<\/a>.” This is for placing goods on the British (UK) market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Another link in the Guidance that is critical if you need to place a medical product on the UK market is looking at the UK Market Conformity Assessment Bodies (UKMCAB) database<\/a>. This db you want to make sure you find a Medical Device Assessment Body that covers your device. At first glance there now are a lot of bodies (157 currently) in the db but not all of them fall under medical devices. There are still only 3 of them and they are the usual suspects being BSI, UL and SGS. Best way to search is under the “Medical Device” under the Legislative Search details option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
