(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend regulation 61 (emissions) and Schedule 7B of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986.
The principal amendment is that the definition of "the emissions publication" in Schedule 7B is amended so as to refer to the most recent (i.e. the fourth) edition of this publication. This publication specifies with respect to vehicles with spark ignition engines the maximum permitted carbon monoxide content of exhaust emissions at idling speed and the limits for the ratio of air to petrol vapour entering the combustion chamber, in relation to each vehicle model named in the publication.
Regulation 61 is amended by the alteration of certain dates in paragraph (10AB), which defines the scope of paragraph (10AA), and by the revocation as spent of paragraphs (10AC) and (10BC).
Copies of the emissions publication can be obtained from the Vehicle Inspectorate, Berkeley House, Croydon Street, Bristol BS5 0DA (Telephone 0117 954 3277).
