(Regulation 3)
1 The marking specified in Schedule 1 shall consist of two plates of equal size and the same shape as one another.
2 Each such plate shall comply with the requirements specified in the British Standard Specification for Rear Marking Plates for Vehicles issued by the British Standards Institution and published on 1st April 1970 under number BS AU 152: 1970 and shall be marked as provided in paragraph 5 of that Standard.
3 The two plates comprising the marking shall be securely attached to the end of the builder's skip in such a manner that—
(a) each plate is as near to an outer edge of the skip as the construction of the skip allows, so, however, that no part of any plate projects beyond an outer edge of the end of the skip;
(b) the innermost edge of each plate is parallel to and the same distance from the vertical plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the skip;
(c) the upper edge of each plate is parallel to and the same distance from the upper edge of the end of the skip;
(d) no part of either plate is attached to—
(i) any lid, or
(ii) any door except in a case where a door is the only place to which the plate can possibly or conveniently be fixed; and
(e) the upper edge of each plate is—
(i) not more than 1.5 metres from the ground, and
(ii) not lower than the upper edge of the skip save in so far as this may be necessary on account of the construction of the skip, the provisions of Regulation 4 or the provisions of sub-paragraph (i) above.
