anddthe introduction of energy labelling requirements for the product group has no significant negative impact on the functionality of the product during use.2The Secretary of State must consult such persons as the Secretary of State considers appropriate before making a product-specific measure to introduce a label.3Where—athe Secretary of State is satisfied that the conditions in paragraph 1(a) to (d) are met; andba label is required by a delegated act which came into force on or before 1st August 2017,the Secretary of State must make a product-specific measure to rescale the label in order to ensure a homogenous A to G scale, with the aim of displaying the rescaled label both in shops and online within 18 months of the date of entry into force of the product-specific measure.4When determining the order of labels to be rescaled in accordance with paragraph 3, the Secretary of State must take into account the proportion of products in the highest classes.5The Secretary of State may make a product-specific measure to rescale a label introduced in accordance with paragraph 1, or to further rescale a label rescaled in accordance with paragraph 3—awhere the conditions under point (a) or (b) of paragraph 6 are met; andbfollowing consultation carried out in accordance with paragraph 7.6The Secretary of State must review a label introduced in accordance with paragraph 1 or rescaled in accordance with paragraph 3 with a view to rescaling if the Secretary of State estimates that—a30% of the units of models belonging to a product group sold within the market of Great Britain fall into the top energy efficiency class A and further technological development can be expected; orb50% of the units of models belonging to a product group sold within the market of Great Britain fall into the top two energy efficiency classes A and B and further technological development can be expected.7The Secretary of State must consult such persons as the Secretary of State considers appropriate within 36 months of estimating that the conditions referred to in point (a) or (b) of paragraph 6 are met, and such consultation must include—apublication of the outcome of the review referred to in paragraph 6; andbwhere appropriate, a draft product-specific measure.8If, for a specific product group, the conditions of point (a) or (b) of paragraph 6 are not met within eight years after the date of entry into force of the relevant delegated act, the Secretary of State must identify which barriers, if any, have prevented the label from fulfilling its role.9Where a label is introduced or rescaled, the Secretary of State must ensure that—ano products are expected to fall into energy efficiency class A at the moment of the introduction of the label and the estimated time within which a majority of models are expected to fall into that class is at least 10 years later; orbwhere technology is expected to develop more rapidly than described in subparagraph (a), no products are expected to fall into energy efficiency classes A and B at the moment of the introduction of the label.10Where a product-specific measure introduces or rescales a label, the product-specific measure—amust require a class to be shown on the label of new product units in grey, as specified in the product-specific measure where the product units belong to a product group in which models belonging to energy efficiency class E, F or G are no longer allowed to be placed on the market or put into service because of an implementing measure within the meaning given in the Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products Regulations 2010; andbby way of derogation from point (19) of Article 2, may require fewer energy efficiency classes to be shown on the label, if for technical reasons it is impossible to define seven energy efficiency classes that correspond to significant energy and cost savings from a customer's perspective, and provided that the dark green to red spectrum of the label is retained.<Addition ChangeId="key-49ffb2efbe1246f1cb486a616bd017f1-1688570919066" CommentaryRef="key-49ffb2efbe1246f1cb486a616bd017f1">Procedure and requirements for the introduction and rescaling of labels</Addition>Article 11A1.This Article applies to the exercise of the power to make a product-specific measure under Article 11.2.The power to make a product-specific measure is exercisable by statutory instrument and—ain the case of a product-specific measure which introduces or amends requirements relating to a label such that those requirements are identical to those adopted by the European Union (if a draft of the instrument has not been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, each House of Parliament), the statutory instrument is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament; andbin any other case, a statutory instrument must not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, each House of Parliament.3.A product-specific measure may—aamend the table in Schedule 1 to the Energy Information Regulations 2011;bmake different provision for different cases or circumstances;cinclude supplementary, incidental and consequential provision;
