EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.)

These Regulations apply to the carriage, in tanks, in bulk and in packages, of dangerous goods by road. They complement the provisions of the “associated Regulations”, namely, the Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Regulations 2006 made under the

Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Act 1998

.

The Regulations contain provisions on an EC harmonised approach to the road checks aspect of their enforcement. They also implement certain exemptions which are in addition to those contained in the Annexes A and B to the “European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road” (ADR) 2005.

The Regulations transpose or retranspose relevant elements of -

• Council Directive 94/55/EC of 21 November 1994, on the transport of dangerous goods by road (as amended by Commission Decision 2002/886/EC of 7 November 2002 regarding time-limits in relation to pressure drums cylinder racks and tanks and Commission Decision 2005/263/EC of 4 March 2005 regarding certain derogations in relation to national transport), and

• Council Directive 95/50/EC of 6 October 1995, on uniform procedures for checks on the transport of dangerous goods by road (as amended by Directive 2001/26/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 May 2001 amending Directive 95/50/EC and Commission Directive 2004/112/EC of 31 December 2004 which replaces the Annexes to Directive 95/50/EC);

which were not otherwise transposed through the Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Regulations 2006.
