Ecodesign requirements for external power supplies: draft regulation
Detail of outcome
We have withdrawn the draft Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products (External Power Supplies) Regulations 2020.
We began the process of consulting on these regulations to prepare for the possibility of a no-deal Brexit. Since the UK left the EU on 31 January 2020 on the basis of a deal, UK legislation is no longer required to update ecodesign requirements for external power supplies, so we are closing this consultation.
Updated ecodesign requirements for external power supplies will apply in the UK in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/1782 from 1 April 2020.
Original consultation
Consultation description
This consultation seeks view on the draft Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products (External Power Supplies) Regulations 2020. The draft regulations propose to introduce UK ecodesign requirements for external power supplies which are in line with those the UK supported at EU level in January 2019.
This consultation will be of particular interest to:
- external power supply manufacturers and importers
- trade bodies
- consumer groups
- environmental organisations
- those with an interest in energy efficiency and climate change
but everyone is welcome to respond.
