The sector requires a wide range of construction-related inputs, from large-scale civil engineering, demolition and project management, through to design services and facilities management (and much more besides). Some of these services require specialist nuclear know-how, others do not (although all members of the nuclear supply chain need to be aware of the special considerations which apply to working in the nuclear sector). The nuclear sector is heavily regulated, especially in the UK, and the contracting structures and documents used can be correspondingly complex. This Practice Note provides an introduction to the sector from a legal adviser's perspective. Sector background The UK nuclear sector can be divided into: • decommissioning (of which...

Are there any regulations which govern the sale or the giving away of light bulbs?

UK In the UK, Defra leads on new regulations resulting from the initial studies which focus on energy efficiency gains. Regulations are enforced by the National Measurement Office (NMO). EU Ecodesign and energy-using requirements The European EuP Directive 2005/32/EC was a framework directive so the specific performance criteria and test requirements were set out in associated implementing measure or regulations. It was repealed by the Eco-Design Directive 2009/125/EC. The 2005 Directive was transposed into UK law by the Ecodesign for Energy-Using Products 2007, SI 2007/2037.
