　　 All notified bodies in the UK will not be able to carry out CE certification, and all UK products, manufacturers and certification bodies will no longer apply the EU’s free circulation policy.

　　 Then everyone can understand this, but the key to grasp is the following three points:

　　Q: Is the certification before CE still valid?

　　A: The certification before CE is still valid, but the certification also has a time limit, and the time will naturally expire

　　Q: What about products with CE certification during the transition period?

　　A: Many UK notified bodies will register and set up similar companies in other EU countries, please pay close attention

　　Recommendations:

　　 1. If you use the UK market to do other EU markets, you must quickly have a second plan, especially communicating with the certification body you find

　　2. Only for certification in the UK market, we need to pay close attention to the requirements of the UK local market

　　3. Those who have obtained CE certification through other EU markets should pay close attention to whether they can be used in the UK

　　4. Communicate closely with announcement entities and communicate with customers to ensure that information comes first
