The UK market has precise expectations on documentation, and the UKCA position has to be confirmed for the specific category rather than assumed. Buyers here also tend to ask sharper questions about service and spare parts availability than in many markets.
For the UK, confirm the UKCA and CE position for your specific equipment category, because the requirement depends on the product and the applicable date. Then confirm the spare-parts position, since UK buyers ask about it early. Documentation accuracy matters more here than speed of quotation.

Type G
Standard 230 V 50 Hz. UKCA marking applies to some categories alongside CE, and the requirement depends on the product and the date.
