Freezers and Refrigerators: Safety
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether he has plans to raise the minimum legal safety requirements for for (a) fridges and (b) freezers.
- Answer
-
There are already strict product safety laws in place that apply to fridges and to freezers.
Under the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations, manufacturers must only place safe electrical goods on the market and they must continue to monitor safety in use and to take appropriate action if those products are subsequently identified as being unsafe.
The UK is leading on proposals to enhance the standard for fridges and freezers at an international level.
