Why are you so interested in it? [emoji848]

Looking to import some RIBS and I noticed others on here are doing the same.

The RYA don't make the rules, they echo the rules made by the UK government. You should be reading the .gov.uk site for authoritative information. See https://www.gov.uk/government/news/b...safety-marking

All part of Brexit. The UKCA mark is the UK response to the CE mark as we move away from European regs

I never said they did and the link you provide is useless as it advises the extension "applies to most products" and therefore not all products.

The RYA has determined how it applies to the boat industry specifically and the outcome is published on their site.

Is this a one off import for you, or a commercial venture importing boats into the UK?

I know. I import heavy machinery from CN and have a CN agent to to do factory and quality checks. I will having tested materials and weld/glue tests.

I need to investigate the UKCA cert further as there is much confusion at the moment although I'm sure things will become clearer.

If there is anything people think is important, I'm all ears.
