I believe that many sellers are worried about the impact of Brexit on their business, and may still not understand the impact of the system on themselves and what actions they need to take to prepare. Here are a few simple questions and answers to help you understand better:

Q: What is Yingdai?

A: The full name of Yingdai is the British authorized representative, the British agent, and the British responsible person. According to the UK government regulations, the UK Conformity Assessment (UKCA) certification mark will be officially used on January 1, 2021. The UKCA mark is a new British product mark that covers most of the goods that previously required CE marks. However, the CE marking can still be used until January 1, 2022. Likewise, Yingdai refers to the person responsible for selling CE/UKCA-marked goods within the UK if the manufacturer is outside the UK. It is illegal to not register a British representative.

Q: Who needs Yingdai?

A: 1. Sold in the UK 2. The goods sold are within the scope of CE and UKCA certification 3. The manufacturer of the goods is outside the UK

Q: Will the CE mark and certification continue to be used in the UK after Brexit?

A: It is clearly listed on the UK government website that products that comply with both EU and UK norms can enjoy a one-year transition period until January 1, 2022. During the transition period, goods can continue to be sold in the UK with the CE mark. Products outside this list will need to be sold in the UK using the UKCA mark after 1 January 2021. After January 1, 2022, these 17 products will not be able to continue to be sold in the UK if they only have the CE mark, and they need to obtain the relevant product evaluation and certificate from UKCA before they can continue to sell.

Q: When will the existing EU Compliance Officer (RsP) be available in the UK?

A: December 31, 2020. If the previous RsP was not incorporated in the UK, then you will need to appoint another compliance officer in the UK (in addition to the 17 transitional commodities mentioned above). In other words, products placed in EU countries/regions need to have the CE mark and the person in charge of EU compliance. If they are sold to the UK at the same time, they need to have the UKCA mark and the person in charge of UK compliance. The seller must confirm the application status and update service of the agency in the UK with the existing service agency.

Q: How to calculate the time when the goods arrive in the UK?

A: For the UK, the effective date of the UKCA mark is 1 January 2021. Commodities that have entered or are in transit before this date are not affected by this system. In-transit proofs include orders, invoices, separate logistics, etc. In addition to the above transitional products, products arriving after January 1, 2021 must have the UKCA logo and the person in charge of UK compliance. It is recommended that you prepare in advance according to your own business situation.

Q: Do sellers need to make a UK-specific Declaration of Compliance (DoC)?

A: The seller needs to make a new UK declaration of conformity (UK declaration of conformity, referred to as UK DoC). The information required for the UK Declaration of Conformity is generally the same as the information required for the current EU Declaration of Conformity (the specific product may vary slightly depending on the application regulations).
