The Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information (Household Tumble Dryers) Regulations 2026
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
9 Circumvention
(1) A manufacturer, importer or authorised representative of a household tumble dryer must ensure that the requirements in paragraphs (2) to (6) are met. (2) The person must not place the product on the market if it is designed to alter its own behaviour or properties when being tested to achieve a more favourable result for any declared value for a parameter set out in the ecodesign requirements. (3) The designs referred to in paragraph (2) include— (a) a design where the product detects it is being tested by recognising the test conditions or test cycle and automatically alters its behaviour or properties in response, and (b) a design which includes a pre-set to alter the product’s behaviour or properties at the time of testing. (4) The person must not prescribe specific test instructions which alter the behaviour or the properties of the product to achieve a more favourable result for any declared value for a parameter set out in the ecodesign requirements. (5) The instructions referred to in paragraph (4) include instructions prescribing a manual alteration of a household tumble dryer in preparation for the test which alters its behaviour or properties compared with when it is in normal use and operated by the end-user. (6) The person must not place on the market or put into service the product if it is designed to alter its own behaviour or properties within a short period of being put into service in a way that worsens any declared value of a parameter set out in the ecodesign requirements.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
