Hi Carl In the lead up to Brexit it was indeed suggested that BS versions would be required for the UK.
As you note, the actual situation is that the UK government has published lists of designated standards, which overwhelmingly cite the EN version so these are the versions to use. At the start of the year the UK designated standards lists and the EU harmonised standards lists were the same, but as the EU and UK now have separate processes for determining which standards to publish as harmonised / designated standards, some differences are starting to emerge e.g. the EU updated the HS list for RED last month, the UK’s list has not changed in the last 8 months.
