Part 9: Energy Smart Appliances and Load Control Chapter 2: Energy Smart Appliances Section 244: Regulations: procedure and supplemental
Section 244 allows for different provisions to be made for different appliances or purposes and the ability to make exemptions under these powers.
	Subsection (3) sets out the requirement for the Secretary of State to consult before making regulations that subject an ESA to regulations or amending the list of purposes in section 239(2).
	The section sets out that the first energy smart regulations made under these powers, any amendment to the list of purposes set out in section 239(2) for which the energy smart regulations apply, or the creation of a criminal offence would be subject to the affirmative procedure. The made affirmative procedure would also be used where energy smart regulations introduce significant changes such as bringing other appliances into scope, introducing a requirement to comply with a new standard or introducing enforcement mechanisms or penalties. Any other statutory instrument regarding the energy smart regulations is subject to the negative procedure.
