    As I understand it, it will be the same as the existing legislation, I’m vice chair of our local amateur radio club, (the sound of people falling asleep). We have looked into this to see if there are any changes planned to the current laws regarding emc, as this is the biggest complaint we have as a club from our members, 99% of which, once investigated is found to be down to cheap imported electronic goods. Mainly imported LED lamps, shortly followed by switch mode power supplies, nether a great surprise. 

    what we have found is it looks like UKCA will remain the same as the CE legislation, at least to start with, although could change from the CE legislation with time, the concerning point is we still have equipment failing the current inspections, so deep down I don’t expect to see any immediate changes to current problems, but only to see a new UKCA standard number.
