# The Private Security Industry Act 2001 (Exemption) (Aviation Security) Regulations 2010, Note: Explanatory note

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations exempt certain persons from the licensing requirement under section 3 of the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (“the 2001 Act”) on the basis that suitable alternative arrangements are in place which will make it unnecessary for those persons to be so licensed.
Regulation 4 specifies the circumstances in which a person will be exempt. The circumstances are those where a person is provided to implement or be responsible for the implementation of screening, access control or other security controls in a security restricted area, having been recruited and trained in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No 185/2010.
Regulation 5 revokes the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (Exemption) (Aviation Security) Regulations 2006. These Regulations are being revoked because they refer to Directions made under section 14 of the Aviation Security Act 1982 (Directions 11 and 12a) which have now been revoked and replaced by the Single Consolidated Direction (Aviation) 2010 (SCD No. 1/2010). The Single Consolidated Direction sets out the more stringent measures to the common basic standard on civil aviation security applicable to the UK, as permitted by Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 300/2008.
