In addition to minor and drafting amendments, the Regulations allow a Class IIII instrument to be used for trade for the purposes of weighing any material the disposal of which constitutes a landfill disposal and any commercial, household or industrial waste (regulation 4(5)).\nIn other respects these Regulations re-enact the 1992 Regulations.\nThe Regulations have been notified to the European Commission in draft pursuant to Directive 98/34/EC (O.J. No. L204, 21.7.1998, p. 37) as amended by Directive 98/48/EC (O.J. No. L217, 5.8.1998, p. 18) which lays down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations.",
