ScenarioYou’ve been given 300,000 to improve compliance rates inyour S&L programmeHow do you go about deciding on the most effective ways tospend this?How would you spend this? OECD/IEA 2018

Why is compliance important?Ensure that consumerreceive the performancethey are paying forEnsure that supplierswhich invest more inenergy efficiency do notlose market share tounscrupulouscompetitorsComplianceEnsure governments getthe outcomes they expect(programme objectives)Safeguards the integrityof the programme – hardto win back confidenceonce lost OECD/IEA 2018

Steps to encourage voluntary mple todemonstratecompliancevoluntarycompliance OECD/IEA 2018

Encouraging Compliance Are the requirements for suppliers and retailers clear and accessible? Are they understandable (not ‘legalese’) Is registration (or alternatives) simple and effective, online, includes FAQ and guides? Is is clear what documentation is required? Are all the relevant documents relating to MV&E clearly identified on the website? Are enforcement procedures and sanctions obvious? Are all staff clear about their roles and responsibilities? e.g. Is there a staff ‘operationsmanual’? Are you reaching ‘new’ stakeholders as they enter the market?Benefits Avoids time-consuming questions to busy staff Avoids wasting time on unresolved cases, delayed action OECD/IEA 2018

Compliance Best Practice S&L compliance frameworks are designed to:a) Encourage voluntary compliance, andb) Deter non-compliance OECD/IEA 2018

Steps to deter non-complianceDeterrence theory: There must be a credible likelihood of detecting violations Swift, certain, and appropriate sanctions upon detection A perception among the regulated firms that these detection and sanctionelements are present1.Make sure all stakeholders understand their obligations2.Make it simple to demonstrate compliance3.Increase the risk that instances of non-compliance will be discovered4.Take corrective action quickly to minimise damage (to all)5.Make penalties proportional to the extent of transgression butsufficient to be an effective deterrent6.Ensure corrective action is visible - to deter others OECD/IEA 2018

Which is the better deterrent? OECD/IEA 2018

3. Increase the risk that non-compliance will be discoveredIn most regulated markets: 20% of the regulated population will automatically complywith any regulation 5% will attempt to evade it and the remaining 75% will comply as long as they think thatthe 5% will be caught and punished. OECD/IEA 2018

Market Surveillance: labelling display and registration monitoring Periodically monitor products within a sample of stores to check that:- All required products are correctly labelled,- All labels conform to requirements,- Fake labels are not being used- Products on the market are registered (where required) Market surveillance can be undertaken by:- Government staff, Consumer groups, Contractors Respond to any observed instances of non-compliance & publish resultsBenefit Early detection of labelling errors can avoid more serious non-compliance Demonstrates to suppliers and retailers that government is being vigilant OECD/IEA 2018

Verification testing Testing is expensive! Needed, but only worth it if:- It is done to required level of accuracy- Is defensible- Is acted upon Since you can only test a small proportion on models on themarket – how do you increase cost-effectiveness?- Test products most likely to be non-compliant- Co-ordinate or share testing with other countries- Ensure tests are enforcible OECD/IEA 2018

Test products most likely to be non-compliant Random selection represents an inefficient allocation of resources- End up testing high proportion of compliant products Identify ‘risk factors’ for products most likely to be non-compliant and have mostimpact, e.g. Models with high market share Models with least credible claims. At brand level:- Does the brand have a good record of compliance?- Here and/or in other economies? At a model level:- What is the quality of evidence for claims – is the test lab known and credible?- Have competitors provided evidence of non-compliance?- Are the claims of performance excessively high - unbelievable? OECD/IEA 2018

Co-ordinate or share testing with other countries Numerous options to minimize costs and increaseeffectiveness: Co-ordinate joint market surveillance with neighbouringeconomies Share results of market surveillance to better target future actions Use quality laboratories in neighbouring economies Commission tests in product country of origin OECD/IEA 2018

Example – European surveillance coordination Various EU-wide (EU funded) projects EEPLIANT- 13 Market Surveillance Authorities (MSAs) from EU- Organises coordinated MV&E activities, including product testing of LEDs, printers andheaters- Electronic database allows MSAs to share plans and results of market surveillanceactivities in confidence- Publication of Best Practice Guide Industrial and Tertiary Product Testing and Application of Standards (INTAS) OECD/IEA 2018

4. Take corrective action quickly to minimise damage Any delay in taking corrective actions means non-compliant products remainingin the market- More energy savings lost- Higher household expenditure Most non-compliance can be quickly resolved, with minor enforcementEnsure internalprocedures areclearEnsure staffresponsibilities& decisionmaking areclearEnsure optionsfor correctiveactions areappropriate OECD/IEA 2018

5. Make penalties proportional to the extent of transgressionCosts & timeProgrammes need a range of enforcement tools- To act appropriately to suspected transgressionsand quickly to minimise damage OECD/IEA 2018

Example - UK response to non-complianceWe operate in accordance with theRegulators’ Code, which requires usto: support compliance andgrowth engage with those weregulate base our activity on risk share information offer clear guidancebe transparent.We alwaysact proportionately,depending on the nature of the noncompliance.We are approachable and do not takeenforcement action just because abusiness asks us a question or tells us thatthey have a problem.Source: BEIS (2017) OECD/IEA 2018

Example: UK enforcement options Range of activity: from advice to enforcement options For first and small infringements may be support Advice For larger serious breach, fines and legal proceedings. Example below – large fine for significant breach of MEPS [Fines can include: lost energy savings, loss of carbon reductions, etc] OECD/IEA 2018

Testing: ensure test results are enforceable If results are not repeatable and reproducible between labs –enforcement not possible Significant variations mean that the costs of testing is wasted Do you know how the results of different labs compare? A program of inter-laboratory comparison and witness testing the onlyway to minimise variations OECD/IEA 2018
