If you have product certificates that are tested according to the standards that are withdrawn, you’ll need to update these. Make sure to do this before the mentioned expire date to remain the validity of your certificates. Also update your CB-certificates to make sure that your CE-documentation remains valid and up-to-date. Find the full consolidated text here .
