Announced
Dec 1, 2025
Implementation
Dec 23, 2025
Description
Great Britain made The Control of Mercury (Amendment) Regulations 2025, amending the Control of Mercury framework to update restrictions/phase-out dates for mercury-added products (including certain lamp categories and specified measuring/industrial devices as described in the research summary). This is relevant to “Mercury Free” compliance because it tightens or updates product phase-out timelines and restrictions, requiring affected manufacturers/importers/distributors to transition to mercury-free alternatives and manage inventory/sales in line with the amended dates.
