## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Agricultural or Forestry Tractors and Tractor Components (Type Approval) (Fees) Regulations 1979 (“the 1979 Regulations”).
The definition of “test” in regulation 2 of the 1979 Regulations is omitted (regulation 2). Provision is made for increased fees for two tests (fee numbers 17 and 23), and reduced fees, where up to four tests are carried out in one examination, for certain tests (fee numbers marked with an asterisk) (regulation 3). Fees are introduced for ten additional tests, and the scale of fees is revised to reflect changes in the cost of testing since 1985 when the 1979 Regulations were last amended (regulation 4 and the Schedule). Some individual fees are reduced but most are increased so that (including the Basic fee) the cost of examinations is increased by between 55% and 297%.
The fees for the issue of documents are unchanged, but provision is made for a fee to be charged for the issue (for the purpose of an application for a type approval certificate) of a report based on tests to standards of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe.
