(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 (“the 1986 Regulations”).
Regulation 3 amends the definition of “the emissions publication” in Schedule 7B to the 1986 Regulations by referring to the most recent (seventeenth) edition of the Department for Transport publication entitled “In Service Exhaust Emission Standards for Road Vehicles” (ISBN 978-0-9549352-7-6). The publication contains in-use emissions limits that petrol-engined cars and light vans are required to meet for the purpose of MoT and roadside emissions tests. The publication updates information on new models of such vehicles which have come onto the market since the previous amending Regulations (S.I. 2010/2060) came into force on 9th September 2010. It also revises a small amount of data on existing models.
The opportunity has been taken to revoke earlier spent instruments or provisions relating to amendments updating references to previous editions of the emissions publication in Schedule 7B.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen. The Explanatory Memorandum for these Regulations is available alongside this instrument on the website www.legislation.gov.uk.
