The UK Government presents the new conformity mark generally used for products that comply with the UK-Regulations after leaving the European Union.
It will in case of the Brexit be replacing the CE-marking for medical devices as well.
The government intends to reclassify UK Notified Bodies as UK Approved Bodies. These bodies will be eligible to assess products against relevant UK requirements and issue the UK marking to compliant products.

In most cases, manufacturers would not need to use the UK marking immediately in the event of the UK exiting the EU without a deal. Manufacturers will be able, for a period of time, to continue to use the CE marking when placing their products on the UK market if their product meets the relevant EU requirements. This would include products that have had any necessary third-party assessment carried out by an EU-recognised body. The government would consult businesses before taking a decision on when this period would end.
Products being exported to the EU which currently require the CE marking will continue to require the CE marking to demonstrate compliance with the relevant EU regulatory requirements.
