Explanatory Note

(

This Note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation

)

In accordance with Directive 92/6/EEC (as amended by Directive 2002/85/EC), speed limitation devices are required to be installed in goods vehicles over 3.5 tonnes design gross vehicle weight and passenger vehicles having more than 8 passenger seats. The devices must be sealed and conform to standards specified in Directive 92/24/EEC (as amended by Directive 2004/11/EC). These Regulations make it an offence to use a liable vehicle where a device is not sealed or does not meet the required technical standard.
