EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Regulations) These Regulations amend the Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products Regulations 2010 (S.I.

2010/2617) to extend Conformité Européenne (“CE”) mark recognition to cover Energy-Related Products sold in Great Britain (“GB”) that are regulated under the European Union’s new Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation framework, under Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 June 2024 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for sustainable products. This will allow CE marked products to continue being sold in GB if they conform with GB ecodesign standards, without the need to also affix a UK Conformity Assessment (“UKCA”) marking.

These Regulations also amend the Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information (Household Tumble Dryers) Regulations 2026 (S.I. 2026/318) (“the 2026 Regulations”) to correct errors in those Regulations. These include corrections made to correct drafting errors identified by the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments (“the JCSI”) in its second report for the Parliamentary Session 2026-27. Regulation 2 of the 2026 Regulations provides for commencement, and the JCSI identified that paragraphs (2) and (3) of that regulation had incorrectly referred to regulation 16(4)

(a) to (c) of those Regulations. This error is corrected by removing those incorrect cross references.

The JCSI also identified that no end date was specified for the transitional provision included in regulation 15 of the 2026 Regulations. This error is corrected by adding a specific end date for the transitional provision in that regulation.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
