Even this is still restrictive.

There can be no UK "Notified Bodies" - organisations that set themselves up as approved test-houses for certain aspects of CE compliance - they must be in an EU country.

Also there *were* UK-based businesses that made their business out of specialised areas of compliance-testing, such as electromagnetic-compatability - these lost that work overnight.

This one has really got to me, at this point what is their argument for being outside the single market and customs union if we’re going to follow all their rules anyway. And if we are going to follow all the EU’s rules we may as well have stayed and had some say in those rules!

That's OK. All the major brands in the country have already had to spend millions to create additional UK only packaging to include the UKCA mark. So job done.
