(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 (“the 1986 Regulations”).
Regulation 2 amends the definition of “the emissions publication” in Schedule 7B of the 1986 Regulations so as to refer to the most recent (i.e. the twelfth) edition of the publication entitled “In Service Exhaust Emission Standards for Road Vehicles”. The publication contains in-use emissions limits that petrol-engined cars and light vans are required to meet at MoT and roadside emissions tests. The publication updates 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 1st August 2005, and also revises a small amount of data on existing models. The ISBN number of the publication will change on 1st January 2007, due to a change in the ISBN numbering system. However, the publication itself will not change.
