- The Cabinet has issued amendments to the Fire Services Act requiring businesses to submit necessary information to fire authorities on products manufactured or imported, such as electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), burning appliances (e.g. oil heater), and vehicles, when requested to do so by the authorities. This applies only when such products are suspected to be a probable cause of a fire. The amendments were adopted June 27, 2012, and are effective April 1, 2013.
