The item numbers in the table follow the order set out in Annex IV to the Framework Directive relating to the various vehicle components or features of construction covered by separate Directives.\nIn line with the 1998 Regulations, the use of the symbol * denotes that the Directive specified is a Commission Directive, and the use of the symbol † denotes that the Directive specified is a Directive of the Council and the European Parliament.\nThis Explanatory Note incorporates the Transition Note that would otherwise have been provided separately.\nCopies of the EC Directives referred to in these Regulations can be obtained from The Stationery Office.",
