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.

Schedule 12 Energy efficiency class, acoustic airborne noise emission class, condensation efficiency class and repairability class
Regulations 11(3) and 16(5) Energy efficiency class 1 The energy efficiency class of a household tumble dryer must be determined on the basis of its EEI as set out in Table 6. Table 6: Energy efficiency class Energy efficiency class | EEI A (most efficient) | EEI ≤ 43 B | 43 < EEI ≤ 50 C | 50 < EEI ≤ 60 D | 60 < EEI ≤ 70 E | 70 < EEI ≤ 85 F | 85 < EEI ≤ 100 G (least efficient) | EEI > 100 Airborne noise emission class 2 The acoustic airborne noise emission of a household tumble dryer must be determined as the weighted average value (LWA) of the sound power in the eco programme at full load during the drying cycle expressed in dB(A) and rounded to the nearest integer. 3 The acoustic airborne noise emission class must be determined on the basis of the LWA as set out in Table 7. Table 7: Acoustic airborne noise emission class Acoustic airborne noise emission class | Noise (dB(A)) A | LWA ≤ 60 B | 60 < LWA ≤ 64 C | 64 < LWA ≤ 68 D | LWA > 68 Condensation efficiency class 4 The condensation efficiency class must be determined on the basis of the weighted condensation efficiency as set out in Table 8. Table 8: Condensation efficiency class Condensation efficiency class | Weighted condensation efficiency (Ct) A | Ct ≥ 94 B | 88 ≤ Ct < 94 C | 82 ≤ Ct < 88 D | Ct < 82 Repairability class 5 The repairability class of a household tumble dryer must be determined on the basis of the repairability index as set out in Table 9. Table 9: Repairability classes Repairability class | Repairability index (R) A (most repairable) | R > 9 B | 7 ≤ R ≤ 9 C | 5 ≤ R < 7 D | 3 ≤ R < 5 E (least repairable) | R < 3

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.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
