The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) (Amendment) (No. 3) Regulations 2001

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986.

Regulation 3 adds a reference to a recent Directive 2001/1 into item 1 of the Table in regulation 61A.

Regulation 4 adds the Directive to the list of Community Directives specified in Schedule 2.

Regulation 5 amends the definition of “the emissions publication” in Schedule 7B so as to refer to the most recent (i.e. the seventh) edition of the publication entitled “In-Service Exhaust Emission Standards for Road Vehicles”. The publication specifies, with respect to vehicles with spark ignition engines, the maximum permitted carbon monoxide content of exhaust emissions at idling speed and the limits for the ratio of air to petrol vapour entering the combustion chamber, in relation to each of the vehicle models named in the publication.

Copies of the emissions publication can be obtained from the Vehicle Inspectorate, Berkeley House, Croydon Street, Bristol BS5 0DA (telephone number 0117-954-3277).
