Product Regulation and Metrology Act 2025
2025 c. 20
The Act lets ministers make product rules by regulation, including product information, online marketplace duties, traceability and rules that copy EU law for environmental purposes. The government has consulted on 'digital by default' product information and asked for evidence on UK digital product records, but has not decided its approach for Great Britain.
