* Please read the notes before filling it in.

*Please use typescript or BLOCK CAPITALS.

* If you intend to use the paint, you must complete the first Part of the Declaration.

* If you intend to supply the paint, you must complete the second Part of the Declaration.

* When the person intending to use the paint has completed Part 1 of the Declaration, he/she should pass it to the person who is to supply the paint. (If the Declaration relates to the use of left-over paint supplied after an earlier Declaration, he/she must send it direct to the appropriate competent authority listed in the Notes on this page. In such a case, the supplier need not complete Part 2 of the Declaration.)

* The person intending to supply the paint must send the completed Declaration to the competent authority shown below, and wait for 3 weeks before supplying the paint to the intended user. (The periodof 3 weeks begins on the day on which the Declaration was delivered to the competent authority or, if posted, on the day on which it would be delivered in the ordinary course of post.) The competent authority may advise that the intended use does not appear to fall within the uses allowed by the Regulations, and that the supplier may be committing a criminal offence if he/she supplies the paint, and the user may be committing a criminal offence if he/she uses it.

* The intended user can make a new or revised Declaration on intended use at any date— for example, if he/she was refused the paint by the supplier on the advice of the competent authority. But the supplier must go through the whole process again (completing the Declaration on intended supply, sending the whole Declaration to the competent authority and awaiting its comments) before supplying the paint.

* Any work involving application and removal of such paint should be undertaken in accordance with the relevant health and safety requirements including:
