flight examiner...

good day all

i am a 15 000 hr ATPL (9 000 hrs 737) , in addition i held a grade 1 flight instructor rating and was a SACAA approved flight examiner...
in feb 2020 i was declared medically unfit - this is likely to be permanent!
according to regs in South Africa i am able to do instruction on all FSTD but no testing!

what i would like to know is can "flight examiners" who have lost their flight medicals still test on FSTD's / Aircraft? (in the UK and Europe)

thanks for the help

The European requirements are laid out in Part FCL. To give instruction without a medical the instructor will need to hold a SFI Certificate. To become a SFE the requirements are listed in Part FCL
