Details

The Product Regulation and Metrology Bill contains measures that relate to the United Kingdom’s product safety, regulation and metrology framework.

The Regulatory Policy Committee (RPC) gave a ‘green’ rating to the impact assessment for the bill on 17 September 2024. This means that we considered the impact assessment to be fit for purpose based on our scrutiny of the evidence and analysis supporting the case for why regulation is necessary. 

The RPC’s opinion refers to the evidence and analysis presented in the impact assessment, not the policy itself.
