EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations amend the Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999 (S.R. 1999 No. 454) ("the 1999 Regulations").
Regulation 2 amends regulation 73 (radio interference suppression) of the 1999 Regulations by -
(a) re-drafting paragraph (4) in order to apply solely to electrical/electronic sub-assemblies as components or separate technical units, rather than to whole vehicles;
(b) amending paragraph (5) to take into account a further amendment to ECE Regulation 10 in line with Community Directive 95/54/EC; and
(c) re-drafting paragraph (7) so as to specify the descriptions of electrical/electronic sub-assemblies to which Regulation 73 does not apply.
Regulation 3 makes consequential amendments to Table II of Schedule 1 to the 1999 Regulations.
Copies of the relevant Directives and ECE Regulations referred to in these Regulations may be obtained from TSO, 16 Arthur Street, Belfast BT1 4GD.
