The UK presently has no system in location for the accreditation of air travel products and likewise drones, and with all CE Certification no longer legitimate, companies will need to go back to EU accreditation companies to re-certify, at a terrific expense both economically, and to the hinderance of UK PLC.

It has the possible to permit the UK to look outwardly, assisting in a quicker speed of development in a relocation far from the more authoritative method taken by the EU’s CE accreditation.
