Following the UK’s departure from the European Union, the UK NARIC function (which is an EU-only network) delivered by Ecctis Limited since 1997 had to change to an ENIC (the wider European title for national recognition agencies) in order to meet the UK's continuing treaty obligations under the Lisbon Recognition Convention. Therefore, from 1^st March 2021, the UK NARIC function is known as UK ENIC.

Statements of Comparability and UK Qualification Reference Statements form part of the UK ENIC function, so reports will be issued by UK ENIC.
