These Regulations substitute regulation 8(3) and (4) of the Controlled Waste Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2002 and thereby refer to the Animal By-Products Order (Northern Ireland) 2002 rather than the Animal By-Products Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 (Regulation 2(2)).

A change to the numbering of certain regulations has also been made (Regulation 2(1)).
