CE marking of elctrical control panels

Question

Before BREXIT, the following statement regarding control panels was true.

"Low voltage Assemblies marketed within the EU have to comply with all relevant Directives and be CE marked. For the majority of Assemblies this requires compliance with the Low Voltage and the EMC Directives. Fully meeting BS EN 61439-2 allows the PSC Assembly to be CE marked.”

Now that we have left the EU and since I havent heard anything to the contrary I presume UK control panels still have to comply with BS EN 61439, but should they also have a CE mark .

That page of waffle I just posted is the UK govt position ( https://www.gov.uk/guidance/using-the-ukni-marking) 
 I suggest the effect of the wrong label will be minimal - stuff that had CE stickers on it that was not quite compliant will remain so, and the folk who print the stickers now have some more to add to the label soup they can apply at random. Nothing beats looking at the build quality and asking to see test results. Marking may keep honest people honest, it does very little against the dishonest ones.
