What credit card transaction requires a PIN? Those are strictly for

All UK transactions.


Err, not quite all.

A UK transaction with a foreign plastic card could be signature based
and the banks have agreed to issue signature based cards to customers
with disabilities who need them.

Hence, I suppose, why a UK supermarket self-checkout has the text "PIN
or Signature".
