EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note does not form part of the Regulations)


These Regulations amend the Noise Emission in the Environment by Equipment for use Outdoors Regulations 2001(S.I. 2001 No. 1701) ("the principal Regulations"). Regulation 3(2) of the principal Regulations providing for the exclusion of a provision in the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992 No. 3073) is amended; two cross-references in the principal Regulations are amended.

A full Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) was undertaken for S.I. 2001 No. 1701. The Amendment Regulations have no effect on this RIA, which therefore remains unchanged. A copy of the RIA can be found at the following website address: www.dti.gov.uk/access/ria/emission regs 2001.html

The Noise Emission in the Environment by the Equipment for use Outdoor Regulations 2001 implement the European Parliament and the Council Directive 2000/14/EC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the noise emission in the environment by equipment for use outdoors. These Regulations make only minor corrections to those Regulations, so a Transposition Note has not been prepared for this instrument.
