# The Goods Vehicles (Testing) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2011, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Goods Vehicles (Testing) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003 to provide for the introduction of a new system of issuing large trailers with individual logging numbers for type approval purposes. They substitute regulation 6(g)(i) and (ii) to provide that a trailer must be affixed with an identification mark, issued by either the Department of the Environment or the Secretary of State for Transport, before it is accepted for testing.
A full Impact Assessment covering the effect this instrument will have on the costs of the business, voluntary and public sectors throughout the United Kingdom has been produced and is available from the Transport Technology and Standards Division, Department for Transport, Zone 2/01 Great Minster House, 76 Marsham Street, London SW1P 4DR or may be accessed via the Department’s website at www.dft.gov.uk. A copy has been placed in the library of each House of Parliament.
