Goods compliant with the UK Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations are no longer acceptable in the Republic of Ireland
The Irish Government’s Department for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (DETE) has announced that as the UK is no longer a member state of the European Union, the UK Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 will no longer be recognised as complying with the Irish Regulations S.I. No. 316/1995 - Industrial Research and Standards (Fire Safety) (Domestic Furniture) Order, 1995.
This is contrary to previous advice given by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) to trade associations that no change was needed and this change is to be implemented with immediate effect.
Some similarities between the UK and ROI Regulations remain but there are differences in the match testing process, so manufacturers must take action to ensure compliance.
The ROI Regulations can be viewed here: http://www. irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1995/si/316/.
A series of questions seeking clarity has been submitted to DETE and once responses are received, we will notify members.
US Senators propose Shop Safe Act
In Washington in May, U.S. Senators Chris Coons and Thom Tillis introduced the Stopping Harmful Offers on Platforms by Screening Against Fakes in E-Commerce (SHOP SAFE) Act to protect consumers by stopping the online sale of harmful counterfeit products. Companion legislation was introduced in the House by U.S. Representatives Jerrold Nadler, Darrell, Henry C. “Hank” Johnson, Jr, and Ben Cline.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Americans spent $791.7 billion on e-commerce in 2020, up over 30% from 2019. As more consumers opt to shop online, they are increasingly vulnerable to the rising number of counterfeit goods sold on e-commerce platforms. The COVID-19 pandemic has also exacerbated this potential harm as the amount of time consumers spend online and the types of high-risk counterfeits available on these platforms have risen. The SHOP SAFE Act reduces the availability of harmful counterfeit products online by incentivising platforms to engage in best practices for vetting sellers and goods, addressing repeat counterfeiter sellers, and ensuring consumers have access to relevant information at the time of purchase.
Counterfeit remains top priority for EU’s efforts in IP Protection
According to a biannual report, China remains the Priority 1 country for the EU for counterfeit products, because of the scale and persistence of problems in the area of IPR protection and enforcement. India, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine remain Priority 2 countries. Indonesia was removed from the group of Priority 2 countries and included in the group of Priority 3 countries, mainly due to the recent reform of its patent law. Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and Thailand remain Priority 3 countries.
Both the Commission’s annual report on EU Customs Enforcement of IPR [1] and the study Mapping the economic impact of trade in counterfeit and pirated goods [2] prepared by the European Union Intellectual Office (EUIPO) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) show that China remains at the origin of a dominant share of counterfeit and pirated goods arriving in the EU, in terms of both value and volume. More than 80% of the seizures of counterfeit and pirated goods by EU customs authorities originate from China and Hong Kong (China).
