(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Aerosol Dispensers Regulations 2009 (“the 2009 Regulations”).
The 2009 Regulations transposed Council Directive 75/324/EEC on the approximation of laws of the Member States relating to aerosol dispensers (“the Directive”).
The Directive has been amended by Commission Directive (EU) 2016/2037 (“the 2016 Directive”). These amendments increase the maximum allowable pressure of certain aerosol dispensers, and align the labelling requirements for aerosols dispensers with the requirements in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures.
Regulation 3 implements these amendments made by updating the definition of the Directive in the 2009 Regulations. By virtue of the effect of section 20A of the Interpretation Act 1978 (c.30), this updated definition refers to the Directive as amended by the 2016 Directive.
Regulation 4 amends the 2009 Regulations so as to require the Secretary of State to review the 2009 Regulations before 12 February 2023 and at subsequent intervals not exceeding 5 years.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as its impact on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is negligible.
A transposition note setting out how the Government has transposed the Directive into UK law has been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament and is also available with the Explanatory Memorandum alongside this instrument on the www.legislation.gov.uk website. A hard copy of either document can be obtained from Regulatory Delivery, Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, 1 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0ET.
