(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Measuring Instruments (EEC Requirements) (Fees) Regulations 2004 (“the 2004 Regulations”), which prescribe the fees to be charged in relation to certain services provided by the Secretary of State with regards to measuring instruments.
The 2004 Regulations provide for the fees payable to the Secretary of State to be made up of a number of components, one of which is a “variable fee” calculated in accordance with Schedule 1 to those Regulations. One of the components of the variable fee is an hourly rate. Different hourly rates are prescribed depending on the work done and the seniority of the staff involved. These Regulations increase the hourly rates for specified types of work by £5.
The 2004 Regulations were amended by the Measuring Instruments (EEC Requirements) (Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/728) which resulted in the removal of the permission to charge customers for travel costs in Great Britain relating to the approval of a manufacturer’s quality system and the carrying out of EC surveillance. These Regulations reverse the effect of the 2010 Regulations.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has a negligible effect on business.
S.I. 2004/1300, amended by S.I. 2006/604, S.I. 2006/2679, S.I. 2008/732 and S.I. 2010/728.
