Regulation 13 Transitional provisions
Where a relevant activity is taking place on 31st May 1993 or it takes place within 6 months after that date, it shall be sufficient compliance with regulation 4(2), 5, 6 or 7 if—

the Executive accepts the safety case within 30 months after that date (“the transitional period”).
The absence of acceptance by the Executive of a safety case prepared pursuant to regulation 4(2), 5, 6 or 7 shall not prevent the carrying on of a relevant activity during the transitional period.
