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 6 Verification procedure for compliance purposes (ecodesign)
Regulation 7 1 The verification tolerances set out in Table 4 relate only to the verification of the declared values and must not be used by the manufacturer, importer or authorised representative as an allowed tolerance to establish those values in the technical documentation or in interpreting these values with a view to achieving compliance or to communicate better performance by any means. 2 Where a model is not in compliance with the requirements set out in regulation 9, the model and all equivalent models must be considered not compliant. 3 As part of verifying the compliance of a household tumble dryer model with the ecodesign requirements, the market surveillance authority must apply the following procedure— (a) the market surveillance authority must verify one single unit of the model; (b) the model must be considered to comply with the applicable requirements where it meets all the following conditions— (i) the declared values given in the technical documentation, and, where applicable, the values used to calculate such declared values, are not more favourable for the manufacturer, importer or authorised representative than the results of the corresponding measurements made pursuant to paragraph 1(2)(b)(vii) of Schedule 1A to the 2010 Regulations; (ii) the declared values meet all requirements set out in the ecodesign requirements, and any required product information published by the manufacturer, importer or authorised representative does not contain values that are more favourable for the manufacturer or importer than the declared values; (iii) when the market surveillance authority checks the unit of the model, any software update system that may have been set up by the manufacturer, importer or authorised representative complies with the requirements set out in regulation 10; (iv) when the market surveillance authority checks the unit of the model, it complies with the following Parts of Schedule 2— (aa) Part 1 (programme requirements); (bb) Part 5 (resource efficiency requirements); (cc) Part 6 (information requirements); (v) when the market surveillance authority tests the unit of the model, the values of the relevant parameters as measured in testing and the values calculated from these measurements comply with— (aa) the validity criteria set out in Table 3; (bb) the respective verification tolerances set out in Table 4. 4 Where the results referred to in paragraph 3(b)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) are not achieved, the model and all equivalent models must be considered not to comply with the ecodesign requirements. 5 If the result referred to in paragraph 3(b)(v) is not achieved— (a) the market surveillance authority must select three additional units of the same model for testing or three additional units of one or more equivalent models, (b) the model and all equivalent models must be considered not to comply with the ecodesign requirements as soon as the determined value for the average final moisture content for the eco programme does not comply with the validity criteria as given in Table 3 for one of the three additional units referred to in sub-paragraph (a) and in that case any units not yet tested need not be tested, and (c) the model must be considered to comply with the applicable requirements in respect of the verification tolerances set out in Table 4 where, for the three units referred to in sub-paragraph (a), the arithmetical mean of the values of the relevant parameters as measured in testing and the values calculated from these measurements complies with the respective verification tolerances set out in Table 4. 6 Where the result referred to in paragraph 5(c) is not achieved, the model and all equivalent models must be considered not to comply with the ecodesign requirements. 7 The market surveillance authority must use the measurement and calculation methods in Schedule 4. 8 The market surveillance authority must only apply the validity criteria set out in Table 3 and the verification tolerances set out in Table 4 and must only use the procedure described in paragraphs 3 to 6 for the requirements referred to in this Schedule. 9 For the parameters in Table 3 and in Table 4 no other validity criteria or verification tolerances, such as those set out in designated standards or in any other measurement method, may be applied. Table 3: Validity criteria Parameter | Validity criteria Average final moisture content of the eco programme µt | The determined value must be measured and calculated and be lower than 1.5 %. Table 4: Verification tolerances Parameter | Verification tolerances E dry and Edry½ | The determined value (*) must not exceed the declared value of Edry and E dry½ by more than 6%. Eg dry and Egdry½ | The determined value (*) must not exceed the declared value of Egdry and Eg dry½ by more than 6%. Eg dry,a and Egdry½,a | The determined value (*) must not exceed the declared value of Egdry,a and Eg dry½,a by more than 6%. Ct | The determined value (*) must not be less than the declared value of Ct by more than 6%. T dry and Tdry½ | The determined value (*) must not exceed the declared value of Tdry and T dry½ by more than 6%. P o | The determined value (*) of P o must not exceed the declared value by more than 0.10 W. Psm | The determined value (*) of Psm must not exceed the declared value by more than 10% if the declared value is higher than 1.00 W, or by more than 0.10 W if the declared value is lower than or equal to 1.00 W. P ds | The determined value (*) of Pds must not exceed the declared value by more than 10% where the declared value is higher than 1.00 W, or by more than 0.10 W if the declared value is lower than or equal to 1.00 W. Acoustic airborne noise emissions | The determined value (*) must not exceed the declared value by more than 2 dB with respect to 1 pW. (*) Where three additional units are tested in accordance with paragraph 5(c), the determined value means the arithmetical mean of the values determined for those three additional units.

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.
