AI summary ENS is focusing the 2017 evaluation on the same standards as in 2016, despite new standards from Amendment 13 coming into force in June 2017. The impact of these new standards may be delayed until January 2018 due to retailers needing time to sell existing stocks. However, preliminary investigation suggests that the market-lag was absent for some Amendment 13 products, leading to the addition of additional products to the 2017 evaluation.
