Weights And Measures

Made 29th November 2016

Laid before Parliament 6th December 2016

Coming into force 28th December 2016

M1M2The Secretary of State is a Minister designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 in relation to, and for purposes ancillary to, the regulation of specifications, construction, placing on the market and use of articles, instruments, containers or other equipment intended for weighing, measuring or testing.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient for certain references to provisions of EU instruments to be construed as references to those provisions as amended from time to time.

The Secretary of State makes the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A M3 of Schedule 2 to that Act and, in relation to Part 6 of the Regulations (and any other provisions of these Regulations to the extent that they apply to, or give effect to, Part 6), in exercise of powers conferred by sections 15(1) and 86(1) of the Weights and Measures Act 1985 M4.C1
