These Regulations amend the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (Fees) Regulations 1988 (“the 1988 Regulations”).

Regulation 2 makes the following amendments to the fees prescribed by the 1988 Regulations:—

The fee for a first inspection in any other case is increased by 3.1% from £64 to £66 plus the amount which would be payable in respect of an examination under those Regulations.

(b) Where a vehicle fails to pass an inspection and arrangements are made for a further inspection to be carried out not more than 14 days after the first inspection, the additional fee payable is increased by 3.1% from £32 to £33.

(c) The fee for the issue of a copy of an ADR certificate which has been lost or destroyed is increased by 9.1% from £5.50 to £6.

(d) There is an increase of 33.3% in the fee from £1.50 to £2 for an application for an ADR certificate where the person does not make an application for another inspection in accordance with regulation 8(2) of the 1988 Regulations.
