These Regulations amend the Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/281) (“the 2005 Regulations”) which implement Directive 89/336/EEC on the approximation of laws of the member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility (OJ No. L139, 23.5.89) as amended by Council Directives 92/31/EEC (OJ No. L126, 12.5.92, p.11) and 93/68/EEC (OJ No. L220, 30.8.93, p.1).

A regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no new impact on the costs of business. As the instrument does not transpose new European legislation, no transposition note has been prepared.
