From 1st JAN 2022, national obligatory UKCA assessment process is planned to be established. For this, a national UK conformity assessment body has to be involved for getting confirmation of UK conformity.
This process can be done voluntarily in advance from JAN 2021. For this, please get in contact with us for getting a quotation
The UKCA marking is already created as shown in following graph. But it mustn’t be mix up with “UK Cheerleading Association”, which is also abbreviated with UKCA.
In the past the Saudi Arabia Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) accepted requests for approval of parts with WLAN/BT/RFID technology.
Currently, devices which are not cellular network telecommunication devices cannot get CITC approval, e.g. devices with BT, WLAN etc.
If a device includes a cellular module, the single WWAN module needs to get a CITC approval (e.g. LTE-module mounted in notebook). But also devices with integrated cellular functions like mobile phones and notebooks are defined as modules by CITC and need to apply for CITC approval.

As part of the Bureau Veritas Group, 7layers is pleased to announce that Bureau Veritas is actively supporting the rollout and adoption of Cellular V2X technology with the hosting of two C-V2X Plugfests being held in America and Asia in October. The two events are part of OmniAir’s worldwide connected vehicle testing event – the OmniAir Global Plugfest with Bureau Veritas hosting events in Seoul, Korea between 5-8 October and in Detroit, USA between 12-16 October. The primary objective of the Global Plugfest is to evaluate OmniAir’s initial test specifications, over 120 test cases have been drafted to date, developed for OmniAir’s C-V2X certification program for roadside-units (RSU) and onboard-units (OBU) that will launch later this year.
Aligned to the new ways of remote working, this full-scale event will allow participants to participate via virtual networking, hear from our industry specialists and thought leaders whilst engaging in conformance and interoperability testing from the comfort of their home office. Testing will consist of a combination of on-site testing, conducted by Bureau Veritas’ OmniAir Authorized Test Laboratories (OATL) personnel, and virtual witnessing for C-V2X and DSRC devices at each location. Participating device manufactures have the option of either accompanying their device at each hub or sending their device and participating virtually.
