Jactone is pleased to confirm that after a detailed program of engagement with the notified certification body, they have achieved UKCA Mark certification.
The UKCA Mark certification applies to all Jactone UK manufactured cylinders (pressure vessels) and system assemblies for the Premium and Marine Range fire extinguishers and PAFSS fire suppression systems.
Relevant pressure equipment
The CE Mark will still be required for relevant pressure equipment placed on the EU market
After a post-Brexit transition period which ends after 31/12/21, it will be a legal requirement for all relevant pressure equipment placed on the market in Great Britain to carry the UKCA mark, confirming compliance with the Pressure Equipment (Safety) Regulations (SI 2016/1105), as amended by The Product Safety and Metrology, etc (Amendment to Extent and Meaning of Market) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020/676).
The CE Mark will still be required for relevant pressure equipment placed on the EU market, confirming compliance with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU.
For this reason, all mentioned product categories will be dual marked with both the UKCA Mark and the CE Mark, enabling customers both in the UK and the EU to seamlessly sell into either market. Although the UKCA Mark is not mandatory till, after 31/12/21, the transition by Jactone to the dual marking of the products will take place over the coming months, so please lookout for this new confirmation of Jactone product compliance.
