In the EU, manufacturers of a wide variety of products can currently demonstrate compliance with essential EU requirements by having a so-called “notified body” carry out a product conformity assessment and affix a conformity marking (most commonly, the CE marking). These actions are often a pre-requisite to placing products on the EU market. If the EU and the UK do not reach a consensus on the withdrawal agreement 1 and the UK leaves the EU at 11 pm (GMT) on 29 March 2019 with no deal (i.e., a hard or disorderly Brexit), EU legislation will cease to apply to the UK and the UK will become a third country for trade purposes2 . Such a disorderly Brexit may have far reaching consequences for certain businesses, particularly those looking to place certain products on both the EU-27 and UK markets.
