If your product requires a third-party conformity assessment service provided by an notified body, and if such service was previously performed by a UK notified body, your CE mark will no longer be valid without further agreement between the UK and the EU.

Therefore, in order to maintain the validity of your CE mark, you need to cooperate with those notified bodies registered in 27 EU Member States as soon as possible to maintain the validity of your CE mark. Only then can your CE mark continue to be recognized in the EU, and the CE mark will be accepted in the UK market for the time being until 2021.
