Article summary

The Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) and the Broadcast Committee of Advertising Practice (BCAP) have launched a consultation on removing rules and guidance related to energy labelling and product fiche information from their advertising codes. The rules, introduced in 2011, have received no complaints, and enforcement is already handled by the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS). CAP and BCAP propose this change as the rules may no longer be necessary, given existing statutory oversight. The removal would not affect legislative requirements for energy labelling. The consultation will be open for submissions until 5pm on 4 March 2025.
