We would like to refer you to the Brexit legislation tracker — Brexit SI database, which collates details of draft and made SIs laid before Parliament in preparation for Brexit. For further updates and background reading on the latest primary and secondary Brexit legislation, please see Practice Note: Brexit legislation tracker.

The following draft regulations listed in the database contain modifications or references to the EU legislation (or related domestic legislation) listed in Annex A of the government no deal notice on trade in regulated goods:

•
Draft Product Safety and Metrology etc (Amendment etc) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019(laid under the draft Affirmative procedure)
•
Draft Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019(laid under the draft Affirmative procedure)

As stated in the government notice, there may be more specific examples which are out of scope of that guidance, but which deal with matters concerning conformity
