Implementation and transition arrangements

7. Do you agree that a single compliance start date, following an adequate transition period, is preferable to a phased approach?

Yes No Do not know

If not, please explain what phased or alternative delivery model you would propose, which categories it should apply to, and why. Please provide supporting evidence.

8. Is the proposed transition period of approximately two years achievable across different operations?

Yes No Do not know

Please explain your reasoning and provide supporting evidence. Please include evidence on how quickly operators in your sector could realistically equip, whether sufficient EC equipment and installation capacity would be available, and what transition period would be more appropriate if two years is not sufficient.

If you are a manufacturer or supplier of EC equipment, please provide evidence on your current production capacity, any constraints that could limit supply within this timeframe, and whether compliant equipment could be made available in the quantities needed. If not, please explain what timeframe would be more realistic and why.

9. Is there anything you want to tell us about the availability of compliant EC equipment and the capacity of the installation and maintenance sector to support implementation within the proposed timescales?

Please provide specific evidence on equipment availability, installer capacity, lead times, and any other supply chain constraints relevant to your sector.
