EU ecodesign and energy labelling requirements during transition period
19 February 2020
EU requirements that take effect during the transition period will apply automatically in the UK and will be incorporated into UK law at the end of the transition period. For example, new EU requirements for external power supplies (Regulation (EU) 2019/1782) which apply from 1 April 2020 will have automatic application in the UK and will continue to apply after 31 December 2020.
This means they will not be introducing the draft Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products (External Power Supplies) Regulations which we consulted on between September and October last year. These UK Regulations were prepared in the event the UK left the EU on 31 January without a deal (see consultation for additional information).
For further information on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling requirements during the Transition Period and from 1 January 2021, please refer to the Technical Notice here.
