EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Regulations) These Regulations amend the Motor Vehicles (Type Approval for Goods Vehicles) (Great Britain) Regulations 1982 (“the principal Regulations”).
These Regulations—
(a) replace Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations with a Schedule of type approval requirements which are applicable from the date the principal Regulations are amended by these Regulations and make amendments in consequence thereof (regulations 2(a), (c),
(d), (e) and (f));
(b) exclude road sweepers and vehicles having less than four wheels from the application of the principal Regulations (regulation 2(a)(i)(dd) and (b)); and
(c) provide, in relation to a vehicle or part in respect of which a type approval certificate or Minister’s approval certificate was issued before these Regulations come into force, that the principal Regulations shall continue to have effect as if these Regulations had not been made (regulation 3).
In substituting the Schedule of type approval requirements referred to in sub-paragraph (a) above these Regulations also transpose into UK law the provisions of Council Directive 92/23/EEC of 31st March 1992 relating to tyres for motor vehicles and their trailers and to their fitting (as amended by Directive 2001/43/EC) and Directive 2000/40/EC of 26th June 2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the front underrun protection of motor vehicles and amending Council Directive 70/156/EEC in so far as these Directives prohibit the granting of national type approval if their requirements are not met.
The transposition details set out in the above paragraph are provided in place of a separate Transposition Note.
Copies of the above Directives and of the others referred to in the Regulations may be obtained from the Stationery Office.
