Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations exclude washing machines with no internal means to heat water from the provisions of the Energy Information (Washing Machines) Regulations 1996 to implement Commission Directive 96/89/EC. The earlier Regulations implemented Council Directive 92/75/EEC and Commission Directive 95/12/EC. The 1996 Directive added these machines to article 1 of the 1995 Directive, which excluded other machines from its scope. These Regulations also add a definition of “enforcement action” to the earlier Regulations.
