FEA encourages engagement with UK Government on important new product regulations
Call for FEA members to attend webinar explaining new Product Regulation Bill
The Foodservice Equipment Association (FEA) is urging its members to attend a webinar organised by the Department of Business and Trade (DBT) explaining the Government’s proposed Product Regulation and Metrology Bill.
The Bill will provide the Secretary of State with a framework with which to make secondary legislation that will regulate the marketing and use of products sold in the UK, in order to reduce risk by confirming they work effectively and efficiently. The objective is to ensure that the UK is well placed to address modern safety issues as well as harnessing opportunities to deliver economic growth. At the same time it aims to provide a level playing field between online and high street marketplaces.
The webinar, which will take place on the 10th October 2024 between 15.00 and 15.40, will provide attendees with an overview of the current policy background, the full context of the Bill and what the powers will allow UK businesses to do. Details on specific clauses will also be given, as well as an outline of expected Parliamentary processes and timescales. There will also be time at the end where policy experts will answer any questions attendees may have.
“The UK has long been a global leader in product regulations, which help to both support businesses and protect consumers,” says John Cunningham, chief executive of FEA. “These new regulations will continue this tradition and futureproof the UK’s manufacturers, so they can continue to maintain the high standards they always aim for.”
To book your place at the webinar please visit this link and register your interest. Your invitation will be sent to the email you use two working days before the event takes place. You can also contact goods.regulation@businessandtrade.gov.uk with any other questions.
