Competition law advisors should take note of the recent joint inspection by UOKiK, IH, and KAS on 36 heat pump models, where 94% did not meet formal requirements. This initiative prevented 463 non-compliant devices from entering the Polish market. The President of UOKiK emphasized the importance of eliminating non-compliant products swiftly to protect consumers. The inspection revealed issues with documentation, leading to insufficient information for consumers. 463 non-compliant heat pumps were stopped at the border, with 101 eventually approved for sale after corrective actions. UOKiK is currently conducting 18 proceedings related to heat pumps, focusing on unfair contract terms, lack of essential information for consumers, and misleading practices. Advisors should advise businesses in the renewable energy sector to ensure compliance with regulations to avoid penalties and maintain consumer trust.
