CE and UKCA OEM labeling requirements

The CE and UKCA markings must be clearly visible and legible when you affix it to the product. If this is not possible, you must attach these marks to the packaging (if any) or accompanying documents.

CE labeling requirements

The “CE” marking must be affixed to a visible location on the OEM product. The following figure shows CE labeling requirements.

The CE mark shall consist of the initials “CE” taking the following form:

• If the CE marking is reduced or enlarged, the proportions given in the above graduated drawing must be respected.
• The CE marking must have a height of at least 5 mm except where this is not possible on account of the nature of the apparatus.
• The CE marking must be affixed visibly, legibly, and indelibly.

UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA) labeling requirements

See guidance/using-the-ukca-marking for further details.

You must make sure that:

• If you reduce or enlarge the size of your marking, the letters forming the UKCA marking must be in proportion to the version set out below.

• The UKCA marking is at least 5 mm in height – unless a different minimum dimension is specified in the relevant legislation.

• The UKCA marking is easily visible, legible (from 1 January 2023 it must be permanently attached).

• The UKCA marking can take different forms (for example, the color does not have to be solid), as long as it remains visible, legible and maintains the required proportions.
