Supplementary provisions Section 7: Information sharing
Section 7(1) enables product regulations or metrology regulations to be made permitting the sharing of information between persons specified in Section 7(2).
	Section 7(2) provides that the information sharing regulations may apply to a relevant authority, the emergency services, or any other person named in product or metrology regulations.
	Section 7(3) provides that such regulations may cover the circumstances in which information can or must be disclosed, the type of information which may or must be disclosed, how disclosed information may or may not be used and sanctions for non-compliance, including potential criminal offences.
	Section 7(4) provides that product or metrology regulations may specify that information processed in accordance with a regulation does not breach any duty of confidence or any other restriction on the processing of personal data, except as provided for by Section 7(5), which makes clear that regulations must not be read as authorising processing in breach of the data protection legislation taking into account the powers or duties imposed by the regulation.
	Section 7(6) provides a definition of data protection legislation and the emergency services. Data protection legislation in this Section has the same meaning as in the Data Protection Act 2018.
