Steam Boilers
We have received the following announcement from the the Northern Association of Model Engineers regarding rules for marking of steam boilers, following Brexit. Steam model enthusiasts, please take note !
Boiler testers should be aware that from 1 Jan 2021, UK pressure vessel manufacturers may be using the UKCA mark instead of the EU CE mark. This new mark shall be treated under the boiler test code as a CE mark, as permitted under the Pressure Equipment Regulations Act. For vessels made after 1 Jan 2022, the EU CE mark is the only valid mark for boilers made in Europe and the UKCA mark is the only valid mark for boilers made in the UK.
Owners
of models should be aware that the position of recognition of the UKCA
mark within Europe is not yet clear. This may affect those in the
future if they are planning to take their model to Europe or to sell it
there.
