EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 ("the 1986 Regulations") in relation to the suppression of radio interference, by amending Regulation 60 and Schedule 2, Table II in various respects.
The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) (Amendment) (No. 5) Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996 No. 2329) substituted paragraphs (1)-(1F) of Regulation 60 and inserted paragraph (3) as a result of the requirement to implement Commission Directive 95/54/EC. That Directive made provision for new type approval requirements with respect to the suppression of radio interference by electrical and electronic sub-assemblies. The provisions applied to vehicles and to separate components. Amendments to Economic Commission for Europe Regulation 10, covered the same subject-matter.
Regulation 2(2) re-drafts paragraph (1C) of Regulation 60 and its provisions apply solely to electrical/electronic sub-assemblies as components or separate technical units, rather than to whole vehicles. Regulation 2(4) specifies the descriptions of electrical/electronic sub-assemblies to which Regulation 60 does not apply.
Since the making of S.I. 1996 No. 2329, ECE Regulation 10 has again been amended. New type approval provisions come into force on 1 October 2002, in line with Directive 95/54/EC and Regulation 2(3) amends paragraph 1D in order to take account of this. Regulation 3 makes consequential amendments to Schedule 2 Table II of the 1986 Regulations.
Copies of the relevant EC Directives and of ECE Regulation 10.02 and all relevant Amendments and Corrigenda can be obtained from the Stationery Office.
