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.

(1) This regulation applies to a battery in relation to which the CE marking is affixed in accordance with Articles 19 and 20 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 on the basis of a certificate of conformity or approval decision issued by a UK notified body. (2) The CE marking must be accompanied by the UK(NI) indication. (3) The UK(NI) indication may be less than 5mm high provided that it is the same height as the CE marking that it accompanies. (4) Subject to paragraph (5), the manufacturer must affix the UK(NI) indication visibly, legibly and indelibly before the battery is placed on the market or put into service. (5) Where— (a) the manufacturer has designated an authorised representative by a written mandate which has been accepted by the authorised representative, and (b) the mandate of the authorised representative includes affixing the UK(NI) indication, the authorised representative (rather than the manufacturer) must affix the UK(NI) indication in accordance with paragraph (4). (6) A person may only make available on the market a battery to which this regulation applies if the manufacturer or (as the case may be) its authorised representative has affixed the UK(NI) indication in accordance with this regulation. (7) In this regulation— “manufacturer” is to be construed in accordance with Articles 38(11) and 44 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542; “UK(NI) indication” means the marking in the form set out in Schedule 1 to the Product Safety and Metrology etc. (Amendment etc.) (UK(NI) Indication) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020.

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.
