FAQ — Products placed on the UK market
1. Is CE still useful for the UK?
Rules have evolved by category and date. Verify current UK guidance for your product family before printing labels.
2. Do I need UK-specific EMC tests?
Often evidence aligned to designated standards is reused thoughtfully — confirm with your conformity assessment approach.
3. Amazon UK document checks?
Expect requests for test summaries, DoC-like documents and labelling photos.
4. How Certko helps?
We coordinate test evidence and a document pack your UK importer can defend.
Disclaimer: Scheme rules, Quality Control Orders, SABER lists and destination regulations change. Confirm the current notification and lab scope for your exact model before booking irreversible tests.
