Legal background Part 1: Product Security
This Act includes a power to specify security requirements relating to relevant connectable products and creates obligations for economic actors such as manufacturers, importers and distributors in respect of compliance with those security requirements. The enforcement of these obligations will use powers provided for in Chapter 3, as well as existing powers in the Consumer Rights Act 2015 ("the 2015 Act"). The 2015 Act consolidates enforcers’ powers as listed in Schedule 5 to investigate potential breaches of consumer law.
