SPORTS GROUNDS AND SPORTING EVENTS

These Regulations, which apply throughout Great Britain (except the Isles of Scilly), concern certificates under Part III of the Fire Safety and Safety of Places of Sport Act 1987 (by virtue of sections 26(2) and 41 of that Act referred to as “safety certificates”). Such a certificate which is issued by a local authority (as defined by section 41) is required in respect of the use, at a sports ground which is not a designated sports ground under the Safety of Sports Grounds Act 1975 (c. 52), of each stand which provides covered accommodation for 500 or more spectators to view activities at the ground. By virtue of sections 26(5) and 41 of the 1987 Act such a stand is referred to as a “regulated stand”.
