What Is CE & UKCA Marking?

If your venue or event sells alcohol by volume — such as pints, half-pints, or measured wine servings — UK law requires that your cups carry the UKCA mark, confirming they are independently tested for accurate capacity.

The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessment) mark is mandatory for reusable drinkware used in licensed premises across England, Scotland & Wales.

It ensures the cup has been tested to hold the precise legal measure stated — supporting fair trading and consumer protection.

CE vs UKCA — What Changed?

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

Since January 2023:

  • UKCA mark is now required in Great Britain

Both markings verify legal measurement accuracy — but UKCA is now the law for alcohol service within the UK market.

Why UKCA Marking Matters

Serving alcohol in non-certified cups can breach both:

  • Weights & Measures Act 1985
  • Licensing Act 2003

Non-compliance can lead to:

  • Fines up to £20,000
  • Seizure of equipment
  • Licence reviews or revocation
  • Enforcement action from trading standards

If you’re selling alcohol, you must use UKCA-marked cups.

Andrew Gourley

I ordered reusable cups for my event and they were perfect. Great quality, durable, and the printing looked amazing. Guests loved them and they were a much better eco-friendly alternative to disposable cups. The ordering process was smooth and delivery was quick. I’ll definitely be buying again for future events.

Absolutely thrilled with my reusable cups! They were strong, beautifully printed, and a huge hit with guests. Such a great sustainable option compared to disposables. The whole process from ordering to delivery was smooth and fast.
