UK jobs at risk as EC warns on safety standards post-Brexit

More than 200 UK agencies that provide 'CE' safety labels may lose recognition after March 2019

Highly specialised jobs in Britain assessing whether products ranging from MRI scanners to phones can carry the "CE" safety label could be at risk post-Brexit after the European commission put manufacturers on notice over future standards.

In an official notice, the EC said the agencies that provide the safety certificates may not have their work recognised after 29 March 2019, unless an agreement can be reached.
