when and how to use the UKCA mark;
requirements for technical documentation and a specific Declaration of Conformity for products sold in GB;
appointing an authorized representative or responsible person in the UK;
whether your legal responsibilities will change as a result of Brexit;
whether you need to provide GB importer information, and methods for doing this (including transitional arrangements until the end of 2022);
how to deal with existing stock;
what documentary evidence is required to show that products have been placed in the UK or EU before the end of the Transition Period (31 December 2020); and specific rules for selling products in NI.
