These Regulations revoke and replace, with amendments, the Motor Vehicles (Type Approval) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1985 as amended, and prescribe type approval requirements for certain classes of motor vehicle and motor vehicle parts manufactured on or after 1st August 1978 and first used on or after 2nd December 1985.
The Regulations introduce a new provision, in regulation 7(16), which provides that where a vehicle in another State in the European Economic Area satisfies the technical requirements for permanent registration in that State, the vehicle is deemed to comply with the prescribed requirements of these Regulations, subject to satisfactory documentation being provided.
A number of obsolete requirements in respect of exhaust emissions, seatbelts, brakes and noise and silencers have been omitted from Schedule 1.
The Regulations set out in Schedule 9 are revoked as a consequence of these Regulations.
