What Is CE & UKCA Marking?

If your venue or event serves alcohol by volume — including pints, half-pints, or measured wine servings — UK law requires that every cup carries the UKCA mark. This mark confirms that the product has been independently tested to ensure accurate capacity.

The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessment) mark is mandatory for reusable drinkware used in licensed premises across England, Scotland, and Wales. It guarantees the cup holds the exact legal measure stated, supporting fair trading and protecting consumers.

CE vs UKCA — What Changed?

Before Brexit, reusable cups used in the UK carried the CE mark recognised across the EU.

Since January 2023:

  • The UKCA mark is legally required in Great Britain

Both marks certify measurement accuracy — but UKCA is now the legally accepted standard for alcohol service within the UK.

Why UKCA Marking Matters

Serving alcohol in uncertified cups is a breach of both:

  • The Weights & Measures Act 1985
  • The Licensing Act 2003

Non-compliance can result in:

  • Fines up to £20,000
  • Seizure of non-compliant equipment
  • Licence review or revocation
  • Trading Standards enforcement

If you are selling alcohol in reusable cups, those cups must be UKCA-marked.
