EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations amend the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (Fees) Regulations 1988 ("the 1988 Regulations"). The 1988 Regulations prescribe the fees payable in connection with the issue of special certificates of approval for vehicles used to carry dangerous goods, in pursuance of the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). An "ADR certificate" is a special certificate of approval as defined in regulation 2 of the 1988 Regulations. "ADR" is the acronym for "Accord European Relatif au Transports International des Marchandises Dangereuses par Route".

Regulation 2 makes increases to the fees prescribed by the 1988 Regulations where an ADR certificate is applied for. The increased fees are set out in the Table below (with the percentage increase since the fees were last fixed shown in brackets).


Table
Nature of fee Existing fee (£) Substituted fee (£)
First inspection in relation to an application for an ADR certificate where the inspection is carried out on the same day as an examination under the Goods Vehicles (Plating and Testing) Regulations 1988. 73 82 (12.3% )
First inspection in relation to an application for an ADR certificate in any other case (plus the amount which would be payable in respect of an examination under the Goods Vehicles (Plating and Testing) Regulations 1988). 73 82 (12.3% )
Where a vehicle fails to pass an inspection and arrangements are made for a further inspection to be carried out not more than 14 days after the first inspection. 37 42 (13.5% )
Issue of a copy of an ADR certificate which has been lost or destroyed. 11 12 (9.1% )
