EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (Fees) Regulations 1988 (S.I. 1988/370) (“the 1988 Regulations”). The 1988 Regulations prescribe the fees payable in connection with the issue of special certificates of approval for vehicles used to carry dangerous goods, in pursuance of the European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). An “ADR” certificate is a special certificate of approval as defined in regulation 2 of the 1988 Regulations. “ADR” is the abbreviation for “Accord Européen Relatif au Transport International des Marchandises Dangereuses par Route”.
Regulation 2 makes changes to the fees prescribed by the 1988 Regulations where an application is made for an ADR certificate. Where fees relate to an inspection that is required to be undertaken, a distinction is now made between circumstances where the inspection is carried out, on the one hand, at a vehicle testing station provided by the Secretary of State (when the fees payable have been increased) and on the other hand, at a vehicle testing station that is not provided by the Secretary of State (when the fees payable have been reduced). Regulations 3 and 4 of the 1988 Regulations have accordingly been modified to introduce this differentiation.
The opportunity has also been taken to modify and simplify the 1988 Regulations to bring them into line with current practice, whereby a full roadworthiness test under the Goods Vehicles (Plating and Testing) Regulations 1988 (S.I. 1988/1478) is no longer undertaken where the inspection for the purpose of the ADR certificate does not take place on the same day as that test.
The increased and reduced fees, which come into effect from 1st October 2014, are set out in the Table below, with the percentage increases or reductions since the fees were last fixed (with effect from 3rd May 2009) shown in brackets.
Table
| Nature of service | Existing fee (£) | Substituted fee (£) |
|---|---|---|
| Inspection in relation to an application for an ADR certificate carried out at a vehicle testing station provided by the Secretary of State. | 99 | 116 (+17.2%) |
| Inspection as above but carried out at a vehicle testing station not provided by the Secretary of State. | 99 | 83 (-16.2%) |
| Where a vehicle fails to pass an inspection and arrangements are made for a further inspection to be carried out no more than 14 days after the first inspection at a vehicle testing station provided by the Secretary of State. | 50 | 63 (+26.0%) |
| Inspection as above but carried out at a vehicle testing station not provided by the Secretary of State. | 50 | 39 (-22.0%) |
Regulation 2 also omits the definition of the Goods Vehicles (Plating and Testing) Regulations 1988 in regulation 2 of the 1988 Regulations, as well as regulation 11 of the 1988 Regulations, both of which are redundant.
An impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available from the DVSA Corporate Office, Berkeley House, Croydon Street, Bristol BS5 0DA (telephone: 0117 954 3200). A copy has been placed in the library of each House of Parliament. The impact assessment is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside the instrument on the website, www.legislation.gov.uk. DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) was formed on 1st April 2014 following the merger of VOSA (Vehicle and Operator Services Agency) with the DSA (Driving Standards Agency) to form a single entity.
