# The Medicines (Child Safety) Amendment Regulations 1987, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Medicines (Child Safety) Regulations 1975 which prohibit the sale or supply of certain aspirin or paracetamol other than in child resistant containers. Regulation 2(1) substitutes for the reference to British Standard 5321 (published in 1975) a reference to British Standard 6652 (published in 1985). Regulations 2(2) and (3) make transitional arrangements, and make special provision for containers which form part of a series.
The British Standard referred to in the Regulations may be obtained from any of the sales outlets operated by the British Standards Institution or by post from the Institution at Linford Wood, Milton Keynes MK14 6LE.
