This answer is a correction from the original answer.
In the event of the UK leaving the EU without a deal, on exit all ‘harmonised standards’ that gave a presumption of conformity to EU requirements will be cited as ‘designated standards’ and will give rise to a presumption of conformity to the relevant requirements in the UK body of retained EU law, as amended. Details of all ‘designated’ standards will be provided on the gov.uk website.
A register of UK approved bodies and the conformity assessment activities for which they have been approved will be made available via the gov.uk website.
