Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Motor Vehicles Tyres (Safety) Regulations 1984.

The 1984 Regulations make it an offence for a person to supply certain tyres unless certain requirements are met.

The amendments make provision for tyres to be supplied if they do not meet the previous requirements but bear an approval mark pursuant to Council Directive 92/23/ EEC (OJ No. L129, 14.5.92, p.95).

The amendments broadly apply to car tyres which are not retreaded tyres.

Copies of the Council Directive can be obtained from Her Majesty’s Stationery Office.
