These Regulations amend the definition of “the Community Recording Equipment Regulation” in section 97(7) of the Transport Act 1968 and regulation 1(3) of the Passenger and Goods Vehicles (Recording Equipment) Regulations 1979 to take account of the amendments to Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3821/85 (O.J. No. L370, 31.12.1985, p. 8) made by Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 3688/92 (O.J. No. L374, 22.12.1992, p. 12). The amendments to the Council Regulation have been made to take account of technical changes in recording equipment in road transport.

By virtue of article 3 of the Commission Regulation the amendments take effect in respect of recording equipment (tachographs) in new vehicles brought into service for the first time as from 1st January 1996.
