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

The UK accepts CE marking indefinitely for most products, but “CE is enough” is only half the story. Great Britain has its own requirements: BS 1363 plugs, the PSTI security law for smart devices, UK REACH for chemicals, and UK importer labelling. Northern Ireland follows EU rules. PCN closes the UK-specific gaps without redoing your CE work.
