Packaging (Essential Requirements) Regulations - Draft Government Guidance Notes (July 2013)

This guide, produced by BIS, is addressed to those involved in the placing of packaged goods on the market. The guidance cannot cover every situation and, of course, it may be necessary to carefully consider the relevant legislation to see how it applies in your circumstances. However, if you do follow the guidance it will help you to understand how to comply with the law. For background information, this guidance has been designed to comply with the “Code of Practice on Guidance on Regulation 2009”. This was published in October 2009 and a copy can be downloaded from the www.gov.uk website. This is the July 2013 draft edition of the guidance and will be published in final form in October 2013. The guidance is updated on a regular basis as necessary.
