A designated standard is a technical specification that may be recognized by the government in part or in full by publishing the reference on GOV.UK. Depending on the product, it can be a standard adopted by any of the following recognized standardization bodies:
On Jan. 1, 2021, the government published the lists of designated standards and created a similar document to EU Official Journal EU. In this year and a half, the government has continued to update these lists to maintain alignment with the European harmonized standards and their publication in the EU OJ.
The government has recently updated the list of designated standards that can be used by manufacturers in order to assess and declare conformity to the regulation requirements of e Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 (S.I. 2016/1101). The publication on GOV.UK website grants presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 (S.I. 2016/1101). Please be aware that it is an amendment and not the complete list.
The designated standards listed in the Notice 0061/22 can be used to provide a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016. In order to comply with the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016, manufacturers can choose whether or not to apply the designated standards or parts thereof. However, if manufacturers choose not to apply the designated standard, they need, based on their own risk assessment, to demonstrate that the products conform with essential requirements by other means of their own choosing (e.g., by means of any existing technical specifications, including all other available standards). Designated standards are not mandatory, but they can simplify the process of meeting the essential requirements set by legislation. For this reason, when U.K. designated standards exist, they are commonly used by manufacturers.
Other than in Northern Ireland (NI), any references to European Union (EU) Regulations in this guidance should be read as meaning retained EU law. You can access retained EU law via the HM Government EU Exit web archive. This should be read alongside the relevant EU Exit legislation that was made to ensure retained EU law operates correctly in a United Kingdom (UK) context. EU Exit legislation can be accessed on legislation.gov.uk. In NI, EU food law will continue to apply, as listed in the Northern Ireland Protocol. Retained EU law will not apply in these circumstances.
This page highlights the requirements of Regulation No. 1169/2011, the Food Information to Consumers (FIC) Regulation, and associated legal standards for labelling and composition of food products such as bottled water, milk, fish and meat. The Food Information to Consumers (FIC) Regulation 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers brings together EU rules on general food labelling and nutrition labelling into one piece of legislation.
The retained version of Regulation 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers applies to food businesses in Great Britain (GB). Whereas, EU food law, including Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers, applies in NI.
All prepacked food requires a food label that displays certain mandatory information. All food is subject to general food labelling requirements and any labelling provided must be accurate and not misleading.
If there is no customary name or it is not used, a descriptive name of the food must be provided. This must be sufficiently descriptive to inform the consumer of the true nature of the food and to enable it to be distinguished from products with which it might otherwise be confused. Most products will fall into this category and require a descriptive name.
You must emphasise allergens on the label using a different font, style, background colour or by bolding the text. This enables consumers to understand more about the ingredients in packaged foods and are helpful for people with food allergies and intolerances who need to avoid certain foods.
Food businesses can continue to use an EU, GB or NI address for the FBO on food products sold in GB until 30 September 2022.
From 1 January 2024 (extended from 1 October 2022), food products sold in GB must include a UK, Channel Islands or the Isle of Man address for the food business. If the food business is not in GB, they must include the address of the importer, based in the UK, Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.
In accordance with the FIC Regulations, the indication of the country of origin or place of provenance of a food shall be mandatory where failure to indicate this might mislead the consumer as to the true country of origin or place of provenance of the food. Consumers might be misled without this information, for example a Melton Mowbray Pork pie which was made in Italy.
Instructions on how to prepare and cook the food appropriately, including for heating in a microwave oven, must be given on the label if they are needed. If the food must be heated, the temperature of the oven and the cooking time will usually be stated.
The mandatory nutrition declaration must be clearly presented in a specific format and give values for energy and six nutrients. The values must be given in the units (including both kJ and kcal for energy) per 100g/ml, and the nutrition declaration must meet the minimum font size requirements.
Currently, food businesses are not required by law to provide a full ingredients list. The requirement is to provide information about the use of allergenic ingredients in a food. If a food business chooses not to provide this information upfront in a written format, (for example allergen information on the menu), they must use clear signposting to direct the consumer to where this information can be found, such as asking a member of staff. In such situations, a statement must be included on food menus, chalkboards, food order tickets or food labels.
Food authenticity is when food matches its description. Labelling is regulated to protect consumers who should have the correct information to make confident and informed food choices based on diet, allergies, personal taste or cost.
Mislabelled food deceives the consumer and creates unfair competition with manufacturers or traders. Everyone has the right to know that the food they have bought matches the description given on the label. Part of our role is to help prevent mislabelling or misleading descriptions of foods.
There are numerous data erasure and data wiping standards for the secure removal of sensitive information from PC hard drives, removable media, LUNs and other storage devices. Rigorous standards for these data sanitization procedures are set forth by government agencies and private organizations around the globe.
Standards are set forth by government agencies and private institutions to ensure quality and consistency. Regarding data erasure, standards normally differ on the number of overwrites and what pattern is used to overwrite a data storage device.
The most well-known data sanitization standards or guidelines may be the 3 and 7-pass methods from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD 5220.22-M/ECE) and the NIST SP 800-88, Rev. 1 Clear and Purge standards, but others may be more popular in various regions or industries.
As the global leader in certified data erasure, Blancco supports 24+ international data wiping and erasure standards set by government agencies, legal authorities, and independent testing laboratories, including all the ones listed above.

1. The existence of a relevant EN standard does not necessarily mean that all supplies of a specific treatment chemical or product will have been tested to and shown to meet the appropriate requirements of the EN. These standards contain requirements for impurities and may additionally have a National Condition of Use assigned to them. Since EN standards for drinking water treatment chemicals and products do not contain mandatory requirements for attestation of conformity, it is the responsibility of the user of these products to ensure that the treatment chemicals or products provided by a specific supplier fully meet the test requirements of the relevant EN standard by provision of a certificate of attestation for the batch of chemical supplied or by internally checking through their own laboratories.
2. Clause 6.1.10.2 of BS 6700: 2006 (Design, installation, testing and maintenance of services supplying water for domestic use within buildings and their curtilages - Specification) states that chemicals used for disinfection of drinking water installations shall be those that are listed in the UK's List of substances, products and processes approved under the relevant regulations .
This advice is wrong; products listed in the "List of Approved Products for use in Public Water Supply", the current title of this publication, have not been assessed for their effectiveness in any situation, and their safety has not been considered in the context of building water systems. BSi Standards is currently amending this clause of BS 6700.
