Introduction to UKCA certification in the UK:

According to the requirements of the UK building product regulations, from January 1, 2023, all construction products entering the UK must comply with relevant regulations and standards. After the UK4Brexit , the UKCA (UK Conformity Assessment) mark is the market access sign for products that intend to enter the UK market (England, Welsh and Scotland ). It covers most products that originally required the CE logo. At the same time, construction products/wood wire (WW) insulation material that enters EU still need to undergo CE certification .

Building insulation material / Mineral Wool Insulation material UKCA mark and CE mark are the same as the manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the product complies with the standards stipulated in the law. According to the CPR of the building product regulations and the response building product standards (such as the implementation standard for wood wire (WW) insulation materials is: EN 13168), select the corresponding certification system (System 1, 3 or 4), and inspect the wood wire (WW) products in accordance with the requirements of EN 13168, or evaluate and certified, and add the UKCA mark.

Zhongke Yishuo CASfire maintains good cooperation with the UKCA certification agency Approved Body. It can conduct a testing and certification evaluation according to the standards, and obtain UKCA certification and CE certification at the same time.

EN 13168Building insulation Products. Factory makes wood wool (WW) product specification

EN 13168Wood wire (WW) insulation material UKCA certification Product scope involved:

This European standard specifies the requirements for factory-produced wood wire (WW) products for thermal insulation of buildings, with or without surfaces or coatings.

These products are manufactured in the form of plates or sheets.

This European standard also stipulates the requirements for factories to produce composite products, which are made of wood wire and other insulating materials .

This European standard describes the product characteristics, including procedures for testing, conformity assessment, labeling and labeling.

Products covered by this European standard are also used for prefabricated insulation systems and composite materials

EN 13168 Wood Wire (WW) Insulation Material UKCA Certification - Certification Process:

1. Fill in the UKCA Certification Application Form,

2. Provide product information, evaluate and certification system (system 1, system 3 or system 4)

3. System 1 conduct factory review or system 3 sample sending test

4. Sample performance testing (EN 13501-1 fire resistance performance level testing, etc.)

5. Issuing test report/UKCA certificate

6. Issue the DOP documents required for UKCA certification and to add the UKCA logo on product

UK Declaration of Conformity (UKCA-DOP):

UK Declaration of Conformity is a document that must be accompanied by most products that legally carry the UKCA logo. In your document as the manufacturer, or your authorized representative (where permitted by relevant laws), you should:

1. Declare that the product complies with the relevant statutory requirements applicable to a particular product.

2. Ensure that the file contains the name and address of the manufacturer (or your UK authorized representative) and information about the product and conformity assessment agency
