Energy Conservation (Amendment) Act 2026 (Bill No. 6/2026)
Nature of impact: Operational
Technology and data functions at e-commerce operators must build and test NEA-directed listing-removal systems before the 1 July 2026 enforcement date. The Act extends MEPS and MELS compliance obligations to the platform layer — requiring automated or manual capability to identify and remove non-compliant product listings on regulatory direction. NEA is expected to publish an expanded list of regulated goods categories before enforcement commences. Platform architecture and data classification systems should be scoped now.
