These Regulations change the fees charged under the International Carriage of Perishable Foodstuffs Regulations 1985, as amended by the International Carriage of Perishable Foodstuffs (Amendment) Regulations 1987 and 1992, for examination of goods vehicles, railway wagons and containers carrying perishable foodstuffs on international journeys. The fees for testing and type approval remain the same.

The Regulations also change the basis for charging the fee for examination at a place other than the Refrigerated Vehicle Test Centre. The same new fee of £240 will apply where one, two or three units of equipment are presented at the same time for examination. The old fee of £160 applied where up to four units of equipment were presented at the same time for examination, for each unit of equipment.

The fees for examination are as follows;

EXAMINATION	OLD FEE	NEW FEE

2.  Fee for examination of unit of equipment at place other than the Refrigerated Vehicle Test Centre— (a) for up to three units presented at the same time for examination (previously for up to four units, for each unit)	£160	£240
