Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the UK is participating in the European Commission’s Market Surveillance study of Patio Heaters being undertaken by PROSAFE on behalf of the Commission; when they anticipate the report will be produced; and whether they will make it available.
The United Kingdom has a comprehensive system of market surveillance. For consumer product safety, this is undertaken primarily by local authority Trading Standards.
The UK is not currently participating in a PROSAFE study on patio heaters. Reports undertaken by PROSAFE on behalf of the Commission are publicly available on the PROSAFE website.
