(This Note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations amend the Motor Vehicles (Type Approval) Regulations 1980 by substituting a consolidated Schedule 2 for the existing Schedule 2, which has been four times amended since 1980.

Part II of Schedule 2, which relates to the approval of recording equipment in road transport, is amended to refer to the requirements of Council Regulation 3821/85. References to spent directives and regulations have been deleted. Three of the amending instruments (S.I. 1982/1623, 1984/1927 and 1985/1072) are now spent, and are revoked entirely: in the fourth amending instrument (S.I. 1982/7), the regulation which amended Schedule 2 is revoked.
