WHERE do we Operate

Local Communities First – with a UK-Wide Design

EEESafe & LocalitEEE are built as a place-based model that can scale across the UK while keeping decisions and
benefits local.

The model is designed to operate:

In clearly defined Communities – each LocalitEEE Community is built around a specific area of households (for example, an electoral-scale area). Metrics, repairers, stakeholders and micro-grants are recorded at this local level.

Through a shared national platform – the Appliance Safety Register, Digital Twin system and Marketplace sit on a central platform capable of supporting hundreds of Communities as they come on board.

With local stakeholders – certified repairers, landlords, housing providers, councils, retailers and community organisations that agree to follow our protocols and keep value circulating locally.

Initial work is focused on early pilot Communities. As those pilots prove the benefits, additional areas can be invited to adopt the model.

WHERE do I Register

Through Our Online Appliance Safety Register

Registration happens online, via our dedicated Appliance Safety Register and the LocalitEEE platform that connects to it.

From there you will be able to:

Register your home appliances and digital devices – creating Digital Twins that track safety, recall status and repair history.

Create a citizen member account – linking your household to your LocalitEEE Community so your actions contribute to local metrics and micro-grants.

Apply as a repairer or stakeholder – starting the process to become a Certified EEESafe or UEEESafe Repairer, or another recognised stakeholder type, before appearing in the LocalitEEE Business Directory.

List registered items on the LocalitEEE Marketplace – when you choose to sell or donate, the listing is tied back to each item’s Digital Twin.

Households are allocated to a Community using their postcode, so every registration is counted where people actually live with a full potential of 400 UK communities, of approximately 64k Households. You are limited to where you live in our Marketplace and other Apps

WHERE are Product Recalls

Embedded in the Register – Not Hidden in the Small Print

Product recall information is brought into our system instead of sitting on a separate list that people rarely see.

Within the Appliance Safety Register:

Each registered appliance or device can be checked against known recalls and safety alerts from official and manufacturer sources.

If a recall is identified, the product’s Digital Twin is updated and the owner is given clear guidance on the next steps.

If new recalls are issued later, the system can alert the current registered owner (and, where needed, previous owners recorded in the history).

The LocalitEEE Marketplace is designed to block known recalled or unsafe items from being listed for sale or donation through our platform.

Our role is to make recall information work in practice – reducing the chance that unsafe products stay in homes or re-enter the local second-hand market.

WHERE are Regulations

Aligning Everyday Practice with UK Law and Policy

We do not write the regulations – but our model is designed to help people and organisations work with them.

EEESafe & LocalitEEE sit alongside UK frameworks such as:

Product safety and recall rules – overseen by national regulators and government departments.

WEEE and waste regulations – governing how electrical and electronic equipment is handled, reused and treated at end-of-life.

Consumer protection and fair trading rules – setting expectations for how products are sold, described and supported, including online and second-hand.

Emerging circular economy and digital product passport policies – encouraging better data, transparency and resource efficiency.

Our contribution is to:

Turn these requirements into practical protocols for EEESafe and UEEESafe Certified Repairers and other
stakeholders.

Provide evidence and metrics that support organisations, local authorities and businesses when they report
on safety, waste prevention, digital inclusion and community wealth.

WHERE is Training

Designed with Colleges and Communities in Mind

Training sits at the point where our Certified Programme and formal qualifications meet.

Two strands are important:

Certified Programmes (Soft-launching a Pilot Community for UK)
- EEESafe Certified Domestic Appliance Technicians (DATs) and UEEESafe Certified Repairers are assessed against our protocols, equipment requirements, WEEE handling and safety expectations.
- Certification is managed by EEESafe & LocalitEEE and links repairers directly into the Appliance Safety Register, Digital Twins, LocalitEEE Business Directory and Marketplace.
- This certification can operate before and alongside any formal qualification delivery.
Level 2 Qualification (designed, seeking regional delivery partners)
- We have designed a Level 2 Qualification for white goods repair, with manuals and course content ready for delivery by approved training providers such as colleges or training centres.
- We are in discussion with potential partners. Once in place, colleges will be able to receive suitable appliances donated or sold into their projects through the LocalitEEE Marketplace and stakeholder network.
- Those training appliances will also be registered, creating additional metrics: number of appliances diverted from waste, repair and reuse outcomes, materials retained, training hours delivered and progression into local repair roles.

Over time this means a learner can engage with EEESafe & LocalitEEE in their Community, train through a local college using real appliances supplied via the platform, and move into work as a Certified Repairer whose activity feeds back local safety, environmental and social value metrics.
