Memorandwm Esboniadol
2A.—(1) Subject to paragraphs (6) and (7), in these Regulations a “designated standard” means a technical specification which is—
(a)adopted by a recognised standardisation body [F2or an international standardising body], for repeated or continuous application, with which compliance is not compulsory; and
(b)designated by the Secretary of State by publishing the reference to the standard and maintaining that publication in a manner the Secretary of State considers appropriate.
(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1), a “technical specification” means a document that prescribes technical requirements to be fulfilled by a product, process, service or system and which lays down one or more of the following—
(a)the characteristics required of a product, including—
(i)the levels of quality, performance, interoperability, environmental protection, health, safety or dimensions, and
(ii)the requirements applicable to the product as regards the name under which the product is sold, terminology, symbols, testing and test methods, packaging, marking or labelling and conformity assessment procedures; and
(b)the production methods and processes relating to the product, where these have an effect on the characteristics of the product.
(3) For the purposes of this regulation a “recognised standardisation body” means any one of the following organisations—
(a)the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN);
(b)the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation (Cenelec);
(c)the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI);
(d)the British Standards Institution (BSI).
[F3(3A) In this regulation “international standardising body” has the same meaning as it has for the purposes of the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade, part of Annex 1A to the agreement establishing the World Trade Organisation signed at Marrakesh on 15 April 1994 (as modified from time to time).]
(4) When considering whether the manner of publication of a reference is appropriate in accordance with paragraph (1)(b), the Secretary of State must have regard to whether the publication will draw the standard to the attention of any person who may have an interest in the standard.
(5) Before publishing the reference to a technical specification adopted by the British Standards Institution, the Secretary of State must have regard to whether the technical specification is consistent with [F4such] technical specifications adopted by the other recognised standardisation bodies [F5or by international standardising bodies as the Secretary of State considers to be relevant.]
(6) The Secretary of State may remove from publication the reference to a standard which has been published in accordance with paragraph (1)(b).
(7) Where the Secretary of State removes the reference to a standard from publication, that standard is no longer a designated standard.
(8) In this regulation, a reference to a “product” is a reference to electrical equipment to which these Regulations apply.
(9) The Secretary of State may by regulations amend paragraph (3) to reflect any changes in the name or structure of the recognised standardisation bodies.
(10) Regulations made under paragraph (9) are to be made by statutory instrument.
(11) A statutory instrument containing regulations made under paragraph (9) is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.]

Asesiadau Effaith
Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:
- Why the government is proposing to intervene;
- The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
- How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
- The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
