Part 1: UK Market Access: Goods Non-discrimination: goods Section 6: Relevant requirements for the purposes of the non-discrimination principle
This section defines "relevant requirement" for the purposes of the non-discrimination principle for goods.
	Subsection (2) sets the criteria for a statutory provision to be a relevant requirement. A relevant requirement is one which applies to, or relation to, goods sold in that part of the UK and is within scope of the non-discrimination principle.
	Subsection (3) states that statutory provisions in scope of non-discrimination are those relating to: the circumstances or manner in which the goods are sold; transportation, storage, handling, or display of goods; inspection, assessment, registration, certification, approval or authorisation of the goods, or any similar process dealing with them; the conduct or regulation of businesses that engage in the sale of certain goods or certain types of good.
	Subsection (4) sets out which statutory provisions are not relevant requirements and therefore not in scope of non-discrimination. These are requirements defined as "relevant requirements" for the purpose of mutual recognition for goods (as defined in section 3) and certain existing provision covered in section 9.
	Subsection (5) provides that the Secretary of State may, by regulations, amend the list of statutory provisions within scope of the non-discrimination principle in subsection (3). Subsection (6) provides that the power must be exercised by affirmative resolution procedure.
	Subsection (7) provides that power may not be exercised before consent has been sought from all devolved administrations. If that consent is not given within one month then subsection (8) provides that the Secretary of State may make the regulations without that consent. In the event that the Secretary of State proceeds in the absence of consent under subsection (8), subsection (9) stipulates that the Secretary of State must publish a statement explaining the reasons for proceeding without consent.
	Subsection (10) provides the definition of "statutory provision" for the purpose of this section.
