Schedule 7: Resource efficiency requirements Part 1: Requirements General power
Paragraph 1(1) is a power which enables the relevant national authority, as defined in section 53, to make product-specific regulations setting requirements relating to a product’s resource efficiency.
	Sub-paragraph (2) exempts energy-related products as defined in the Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/2617)), food products, medicinal products and veterinary medicinal products from being subject to regulations made under this measure. The resource efficiency of energy-related products may be regulated under separate powers. Food and medicines are already extensively regulated so it is not considered appropriate to impose further regulation relating to resource efficiency of those products.
	Sub-paragraph (3) allows regulations to be made in relation to the packaging of those products listed in sub-paragraph (2).
