UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) Certification
The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) certification is a marking that indicates a product, such as sunglasses, meets the UK's safety, health, and environmental protection standards. This certification became necessary after Brexit, replacing the CE marking for products sold in Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales). Here’s a breakdown of what it means and why it matters for end customers:
What UKCA Certification Means
- UV Protection: Filters out harmful UV rays, including UVA and UVB up to 380 nm.
- Visible Light Reduction: Reduces visible light to comfortable levels without distorting colors.
- Durability: Ensures products can withstand everyday wear and tear.
Why UKCA Certification Matters for End Customers
- Eye Safety: Reliable protection against harmful solar radiation.
- Comfort and Visual Clarity: Reduces glare and maintains color fidelity.
- Quality Assurance: Rigorous testing for quality and effectiveness.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensures legal sale and safety in the UK.
*Overall, the UKCA certification helps customers make informed decisions, ensuring they receive a product that is both safe and reliable.
