Regulatory compliance is a key requirement in the industrial computing field, where products must meet strict safety and environmental standards before being deployed in factories or automation systems.
The KIWI330, based on Intel® Alder Lake-N/Amston Lake processors, has now obtained both CE and UKCA certifications.
This achievement confirms that the board meets the essential health, safety, and environmental protection requirements for distribution and operation in the European Union and the United Kingdom.

What the CE Mark Represents

The CE mark (Conformité Européenne) indicates that a product complies with all applicable EU directives, such as the EMC Directive, Low Voltage Directive, and RoHS Directive.
For embedded computers, CE conformity ensures that the device does not cause excessive electromagnetic interference, operates safely at the rated voltage, and meets environmental standards related to hazardous substances.

What the UKCA Mark Represents

The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) mark is the UK’s replacement for the CE system.
While largely aligned with EU standards, the UKCA mark reflects British regulations and is mandatory for products placed on the market in Great Britain.
With both CE and UKCA conformity, the KIWI330 can be sold and deployed across Europe and the UK without additional certification steps.

Why It Matters for Industrial Applications

For industrial PCs and embedded controllers like the KIWI330, CE and UKCA certification is more than a formality. It has direct implications for system integrators and end users:

• Legal Market Access: Compliance is a prerequisite for selling or integrating products in the EU and UK.

• System Reliability: The testing process ensures stable and safe operation in environments with electrical noise, vibration, or thermal variations.

• Customer Assurance: Certified products demonstrate that the manufacturer has validated the design's safety and followed international standards for production and testing.

CE vs. UKCA – Key Practical Differences

Although CE and UKCA share most testing principles, they differ in scope and administration:

• CE applies to the European Economic Area (EEA) under EU legislation.

• UKCA applies only to Great Britain under UK law.

Accessing Certification Details

A complete set of certification documents for the KIWI330, including the official Declaration of Conformity and related test reports, can be downloaded from the KIWI330_Certifications section.
These documents specify the exact directives and standards used in the evaluation process.
