Which certifications are mandatory to sell an IoT device in United Kingdom?

UKCA (UKCA marking (Great Britain)), WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment), RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), EMC (EMC Directive 2014/30/EU). Each record lists the issuing body, what it covers and what it does not cover.

Where can I read the official requirement?

Every certification record links to the issuing body or the regulation text. Start from this page, open the record and follow its source links.

Does a certificate for a module cover the finished product?

No. A module certificate covers the module; the finished device usually needs its own approval or a documented module grant reference. Confirm with the issuing body or your test laboratory.
