Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Measuring Equipment (Liquid Fuel and Lubricants) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/1014), as amended. The requirement in those Regulations to label measuring equipment with the appropriate British Standard is replaced by an obligation to label such equipment clearly to enable the buyer to identify the product that the equipment delivers. This obligation does not arise where measuring equipment is used in the absence of the buyer.

A Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) in respect of these Regulations has not been produced as the change is deregulatory and imposes a similar labelling requirement as in the Measuring Instruments (Liquid Fuel and Lubricants) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/1266). An RIA for those Regulations was produced and copies can be obtained from the National Weights and Measures Laboratory, Stanton Avenue, Teddington, Middlesex TW11 OJZ or from its website at www.nwml.gov.uk. Copies have been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament.
