Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they require all home insulation and energy efficiency products recommended for retrofitting domestic properties to have (1) the appropriate product accreditation, (2) building regulations approval, and (3) evidence of gas safety compliance.

The installation of insulation or energy efficiency products must comply with all relevant technical requirements in Building Regulations.

Ecodesign policy sets minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) which energy using products must meet when placed on the market. These must be sold with an energy label to help consumers identify the most efficient products. Compliance with MEPS and energy labelling are underpinned by robust test standards and the UKCA conformity marking.

All energy efficient products that burn gaseous fuels must be safe, demonstrating compliance with Regulation 2016/426 on appliances which burn gaseous fuels before being placed on the GB market.
