Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations.)

These Regulations amend the Measuring Equipment (Liquid Fuel and Lubricants) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1998 (S.R. 1998 No. 113), 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.
