Course Agenda

The course is divided into the following three sections, encompassing the key considerations of UKCA Marking:

UKCA Marking Legal Requirements
Essential Health and Safety Requirements for UKCA Marking
UKCA Marking: How to Demonstrate Compliance

UKCA Marking Legal Requirements

The first section introduces UKCA marking and covers its associated legal requirements. We will use the requirements of CE marking – the mark of compliance upon which UKCA marking is based – as a starting point.

Essential Health and Safety Requirements for UKCA Marking

The next part of the course deals with the Essential Health and Safety Requirements (EHSRs) of UKCA marking. These requirements are contained within the directives and regulations that are relevant to UKCA marking and CE marking.

We will cover general principles pertaining to health and safety requirements, and provide guidance specific to elements including; control systems, mechanical hazard protection, guards and protective devices, risk of hazards and maintenance.

UKCA Marking: How to Demonstrate Compliance

The final section covers how to demonstrate and record compliance for UKCA marking, and the engineering standards that apply.

We will explain how to maintain a Technical File for each machine or product type. This Technical File - which can be requested by relevant enforcement authorities - will contain all the evidence required for a Declaration of Conformity.
