Europe is the busiest region with evolving Regulatory landscape, as Brexit compliance, application of the EU MDR, transition to UKCA marking, and upcoming IVDR deadline take the front seat. All these dynamics have kept the Regulatory professionals on their toes. The UKCA mark came into effect on January 1, 2021, and the CE marked devices have a grace period until July 31, 2023, to eventually transition to the UKCA mark.

This 2- year grace period for UKCA marking is applicable to the CE marked devices that are already being exported to the UK. The medical devices launched for the first time in the UK, after the Brexit i.e., December 31, 2020, and the subsequent grace period for varied devices classes, must be UKCA marked.
