Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what his policy is on the maintenance of the Gas Appliances (Enforcement) and Miscellaneous Amendments Regulations 2018 after the UK leaves the EU.

The Government takes the issue of consumer product safety extremely seriously and is committed to ensuring that only safe products, including gas appliances, are placed on the UK market now and in the future.

The safety requirements that gas appliances must meet that are based on EU law will be retained through the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill. This means that, on day 1 after exit, gas appliances will only be able to be sold on the UK market if they meet the same safety requirements as they do now.
