UK toys: UKCA or CE marking, and what a UK Declaration of Conformity contains

GOV.UK says toys placed in Great Britain carry UKCA or CE marking with a matching DoC. What a DoC may include, and why model identifiers must match your listing.

GOV.UK's toys guidance says manufacturers draw up a declaration of conformity (a UK DoC if UKCA marked, an EU DoC if CE marked) and affix the relevant marking. GOV.UK's general UKCA/CE guidance lists what a DoC may include: the manufacturer's (or authorised representative's) name and full address; the product's serial number, model or type identification; a statement that the manufacturer takes full responsibility; the approved body, if any; the relevant legislation; the referenced designated or harmonised standards with their dates; the name and signature of the authorised signatory; and the date of issue.

The model or type identification on the DoC is what reviewers compare with your listing. Keep it identical.

First actions

  1. Match the model or type on the DoC to the listing and the label.
  2. Check that the standards are listed with their dates.
  3. Make sure the DoC is signed and dated by an authorised person.
