UK Certification for Indian Exporters — UKCA, PSTI & UK REACH

The UK is one of India’s most important export markets, and the India–UK trade agreement is set to open it further. The UK still recognises CE marking for most products, but it has its own rules too: UKCA routes, BS 1363 plugs, the PSTI product security law for connected devices, and UK REACH for chemicals. Northern Ireland follows EU rules. Global Approbation maps exactly what your product needs for Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
