These Regulations amend regulation 2(1) of the Electrical Equipment for Explosive Atmospheres (Certification) Regulations 1990 (the principal regulations) to give effect with respect to Great Britain to the provisions of Council Directive 90/487/EEC (OJ No. L270, 2.10.90, p. 23) concerning electrical equipment for use in potentially explosive atmospheres employing certain types of protection . The principal regulations enable a manufacturer to apply to an appropriate certification body appointed under those regulations for a certificate attesting that the electrical equipment, the subject of the application, conforms to the harmonised standards as defined in the regulations or offers a degree of safety at least equivalent to those standards.
The effect of this amendment is to extend the list of the harmonised standards.
