If you check the Explanatory Note that you will find at the back of each
Regulation, you will generally be able to see any references to relevant EU
legislation.

John,

Yes, those should not be UK only and for all consumers in EU.  Hope to find
out the corresponding EU directives/regulations.  Thanks for your guidance.

 Hi John,
 
 Thanks for your direction.  I found what you described.  Thanks!
 
 Are they national requirements only not EU requirements?  Is there any 
 place we can verify?
