The Low Voltage Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1989^f1 are hereby disapplied in respect of relevant machinery which is electrical equipment in so far as the risks as to the safety of such equipment are not mainly of electrical origin.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby declared that paragraph (1) above does not affect the applicability of the above-mentioned Regulations to machinery which is electrical equipment for the purposes of regulation 8(1)(a) above.
