(This note is not part of the Regulations)
In Great Britain the Construction Plant and Equipment (Harmonisation of Noise Emission Standards) Regulations 1988 as amended by the Construction Plant and Equipment (Harmonisation of Noise Emission Standards) (Amendment) Regulations 1992 (together "the principal Regulations") implemented Council Directive 84/532/EEC (OJ No. L300, 19.11.84 p.111) and Council Directive 86/662/EEC (OJ No. L384, 31.12.86, p.1) as amended by Commission Directive 89/514/EEC (OJ No. L253, 30.8.89, p.35). The principal Regulations apply to construction plant and equipment consisting of earth-moving machines as defined in the principal Regulations ie hydraulic or rope-operated excavators, dozers, loaders and excavator-loaders designed for use in or about building or civil engineering operations.
These Regulations further amend the principal Regulations. They:
(a)extend to Northern Ireland on or after 30th June 1993 the prohibition on the -marketing of any earth-moving machine manufactured on or after that date unless an EEC type-examination certificate and a certificate of conformity has been issued in respect of that machine and an EEC mark placed thereon in accordance with the principal Regulations or under the law of a member State other than the United Kingdom. (Regulation 2); and
(b)make amendments to the principal Regulations consequential to the extension of their application to Northern Ireland.
These Regulations implement the above mentioned Directives in Northern Ireland and accordingly no EEC type-examination certificates or certificates of conformity have been issued in respect of earth-moving machines, and no EEC mark affixed to such machines, under the law of Northern Ireland pursuant to Regulation 3(1) of the principal Regulations.
