Since Brexit, UK businesses selling products in the UK market require UKCA marking. Businesses selling in the EU still require CE marking. These are separate certifications, with separate expiry dates, separate bodies and separate renewal processes.
Most UK SMEs are tracking one or neither — and assuming the other is still valid. It may not be.

Before Brexit, one CE mark covered both markets. After Brexit, the UK created its own conformity marking — UKCA. Now UK businesses must manage both, independently, with separate testing requirements and separate renewal cycles.
If you sell products in both the UK and EU markets — you need both UKCA and CE, tracked separately. One expired certificate can block you from an entire market while the other remains valid.
This isn't a fine you pay and move on. An expired UKCA or CE marking means your products cannot be sold, distributed or placed on the relevant market until the marking is reinstated. The cost is not the re-certification — it's the downtime.
Without valid marking, products must be withdrawn from sale. Retailers, distributors and procurement teams will flag non-compliant products automatically.
In the UK, Trading Standards can issue enforcement notices, issue recalls and impose penalties for products placed on the market without valid UKCA marking.
Large retailers and industrial buyers verify conformity marking during procurement. An expired certificate removes your product from their approved product lists immediately.
Upload your UKCA and CE marking documentation. CertNesher tracks each independently with separate expiry dates, separate alert schedules and separate responsible persons — because they are separate obligations.

Upload the Declaration of Conformity or certificate document. CertNesher extracts the marking type, product scope, issue date and expiry automatically.
90, 60, 30 and 7 days before each certificate expires — for UKCA and CE independently. Never assume one is covered because the other is fine.
