Sellers of new in-scope electrical equipment must also ensure that their products are linked to a registered responsible supplier.

The EESS stipulates three levels of equipment types with different registration and certification requirements for each level, based upon the assessed risk of that equipment type. The EESS has a registration database for responsible supplier registration and equipment registrations, and also has a public search facility for certain information relating to household electrical equipment.
