Not quite true - trade deals commonly involve mutual recognition of standards, not forcing products to conform to the precise standards of the market they’re being sold into. That’s one of the reasons a trade deal between the UK and the EU should be straightforward, even if we’ve technically cut loose from single market rules. There isn’t going to be any significant divergence in just a few years so a deal based on recognition, rather than conformity, should not be difficult to accept.
