Timeline guidance for transition on UKCA marking and UK Declaration of Conformity (DoC) for Intel® products.
- Unable to find UKCA for Intel products
- Will Intel products have the UKCA mark?
- When will Intel include the UKCA mark in their products?
Applicable Intel® products manufactured after January 1, 2022 will be marked with UKCA mark (that is, products requiring CE mark will also be marked with UKCA mark). Warehouse stock of Intel products shipping through December 31, 2024 may contain a mix (with or without UKCA mark) until inventory is depleted, including warranty replacement stock.

On August 1, 2023, the United Kingdom announced an extension to accept CE marked products (see more details) for 18 regulations indefinitely. While this announcement focused on regulations covered by the Department of Business and Trade, it set expectations other departments would follow suit. As of January 24, 2024, the United Kingdom has further expanded CE marking acceptance in lieu of UKCA marking to 21 regulations (see more details) including regulations from the department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. This notice also includes digital labeling reforms (e-labeling), allowing manufacturers to provide regulatory information, including marking, and documentation electronically.
Pursuant to the guidance from the UK government, titled Using the UK marking updated on January 24, 2024, products in scope of these 21 regulations, can continue to utilize EU requirements, including CE marking, thus allowing manufacturers to use either UKCA or CE marking for products being sold in the United Kingdom.
In an effort to support our customer’s supply chain management stock inventories and UK import requirements, for supported products the Intel Declaration of Conformity (DoC) now includes both UK (UKCA) and EU (CE) content, including the Intel UK Single Place of Contact address: Intel Corporation (UK) Ltd., Attn: Corp Quality, Pipers Way, Swindon, Wiltshire SN3 1RJ, UK.
Customers who want to apply UKCA mark to Intel products must contact Intel. Any marking must be pre-approved by Intel before labeling. The customer (importer) is ultimately responsible for applied UKCA marking in accordance with applicable UK Statutory Instruments.
