UK Stroller Compliance Certification

The UK has established strict safety standards for strollers and pushchairs (such as the BS EN 1888 series), requiring products to pass testing and provide complete technical documentation to ensure child safety. Since 2023, the UK has explicitly prohibited the use of CE or ukca marks on such products. Importers must ensure that products comply with the General Product Safety RegULations 2005, and meet labeling, instruction manual, and weight limit requirements. Non-compliance may result in product detention, fines, or recalls. Therefore, testing reports, packaging lists, and other English documents should be prepaRED in advance, and compliant suppliers should be chosen.
