Brexit: No Deal scenario overview

CPA has highlighted the following to ensure no-one loses out in the event of a Brexit No Deal scenario.

1. UK manufacturers placing products on the EU-27 market must have a certificate of conformity issued by an EU-27 Notified Body
2. The transfer of UK conformity assessment certificates to an EU-27 Notified Body must occur before then UK leaves the EU, currently the 29^th March 2019
3. Manufacturers following this route will have to apply the new Notified Body number
4. CE marked products will still be accepted on the UK market for those UK manufactures who self-declare
5. Where testing is necessary, the UKCA mark will only be required where a certificate of conformity cannot or has not been transferred to a EU Notified Body i.e. the manufacturer remains with a newly designated UK Approved Body
6. Certificates of conformity issued in the UK will still be valid after exit day for products sold on the UK market, but the new UKCA mark will be required to be affixed to the product
7. Trading of non-harmonised construction products:
   1. After Brexit, the UK will no longer fall within the scope of the mutual recognition principle
