Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the Road Vehicles (Constructions and Use) Regulations 1986 (“the 1986 Regulations”).

Regulation 2 amends the definition of “the emissions publication” in Schedule 7B by referring to the most recent (nineteenth) edition of the Department for Transport publication entitled “In Service Exhaust Emission Standards for Road Vehicles” (ISBN 978-1-84864-176-1). The publication contains in-use emissions limits that petrol-engined cars and light vans are required to meet for the purpose of MOT and roadside emission tests. The publication contains information on new models of petrol-engined passenger cars and light commercial vehicles which have come onto the market since the last amending regulations came into effect on 20th August 2014. It also revises a small amount of data on existing models.

Regulation 3 revokes the instrument which related to the previous (eighteenth) edition of the emissions publication referred to in Schedule 7B to the 1986 Regulations.

The emissions publication is a technical standard for the purposes of the Technical Standards and Regulations Directive (2015/1535/EU; OJ L 241, 17.9.2015, p.1). The appropriate notification was sent to the European Commission in June 2017; no comments were made during the three month standstill period.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen. The Explanatory Memorandum for these Regulations is available alongside this instrument on the UK Legislation website www.legislation.gov.uk
