Countdown to Brexit – 100 Days to Go 22 Sep

With all that’s happened this year, it’s easy to forget that the Brexit transition period is set to end 100 days from 22 September, on31 December 2020.

As organisations turn their attention from COVID-19 responses to look ahead to 2021, it’s hardly surprising that Brexit is rapidly rising up the business agenda and Northern Ireland has unique challenges ahead.

As one expert puts it: The NI/IRL Protocol means that all goods entering or exiting Northern Ireland (NI) have to comply with EU product regulations and other technical regulations. This is not just about the standards of goods or technical regulations in and of themselves; it also means that certification, authorisation, assessments, registration and approval for NI products are all affected.
