UKCA compliance tools

For UK micro-manufacturers and small businesses selling 3D printed products. Build and maintain your own compliance documentation — guided, plain-English, and exportable.

Educational guidance, not legal advice. These tools help you create and store your own documentation. We do not certify, test, or verify your products. Compliance obligations depend on your specific product category — always verify requirements against the relevant regulations and standards, and consider professional advice for anything you're unsure of.
Document builder

Compliance Builder — one form, two documents

Fill in one guided form per product and generate both your Technical File and your UK Declaration of Conformity from the same answers. Your business details come from your settings automatically; answers sync to your account across devices, and PDFs are generated fresh on your device whenever you need them — we never store the files.

  • 9 guided sections with plain-English help and 3D-printing-specific examples
  • Manufacturer, address and signatory pulled from your settings
  • Save as work-in-progress — your dashboard flags outstanding actions
  • One-click PDF downloads for completed documents
Account

Account settings

Enter your business details once — name, registered address, contact details, manufacturing defaults and Declaration signatory. Every document you generate pulls from here, so a change of address updates everything next time you download.

  • Manufacturer details used on Technical Files, DoCs and labelling guidance
  • Signatory block for Declarations of Conformity
  • Manufacturing location and storage defaults (overridable per product)

Do I even need UKCA marking?

Guidance last reviewed: 12 June 2026 — always confirm the current position on gov.uk before placing products on the market.

UKCA marking applies to specific product categories placed on the Great Britain market. For 3D printed products the most common are: toys (Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011 — anything designed or intended for play by under-14s), electrical equipment (Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 — most mains-voltage items), and products with electronics (Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016). Decorative items, tools and most ornaments generally don't need UKCA marking — but all consumer products must still be safe under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

If you sell something that looks like a toy, is marketed near toys, or appeals to children, assume the Toy Safety Regulations apply until you've confirmed otherwise. The penalties for getting this wrong (and the risk to a child) are not worth guessing about.

UKCA or CE? Great Britain recognises the CE marking indefinitely for toys, electrical equipment and EMC (Product Safety and Metrology etc. (Amendment) Regulations 2024) — so you can use either mark in GB. The documentation this tool builds (Technical File, Declaration of Conformity) is required under either route; what changes is the mark you apply and the standards versions you cite. Northern Ireland is different: UKCA alone is not valid there — NI requires CE (or CE + UKNI in limited cases) and EU rules apply, including the EU General Product Safety Regulation. If you sell into NI or the EU, check the EU requirements separately.

Heads-up — rules are changing: the UK is overhauling its product safety framework under the Product Regulation and Metrology Act 2025, with consultations running in 2026. Check gov.uk product safety guidance for the current position before you place products on the market.
