These Regulations further amend the Hydrocarbon Oil Regulations 1973(S.I. 1973/1311) in compliance with Article 3 of Council Directive 92/81/EEC (OJ No.L316, 31.10.92, p.12). That Article requires the volume of certain hydrocarbon oils to be measured at a temperature of 15°C.

In addition these Regulations remove from the Hydrocarbon Oil Regulations 1973 regulations 13, 15, 16 and 24 which impose specific requirements as to the keeping of certain records and the making of certain returns.
