There are multiple versions of this provision on screen. These apply to different geographical extents.
The term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section.
Sometimes the text of a provision is changed, but the change(s) only apply to a particular geographical area. In some limited cases where this happens, the editorial team create a version for each different geographical area. Multiple versions are only created in this way where the change in question is a substitution so that there are different versions of the text for the different extents. Insertions and repeals of text do not give rise to such multiple versions.
There are currently no known outstanding effects for the The Pressure Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016, Section 53.

At the current time any known changes or effects made by subsequent legislation have been applied to the text of the legislation you are viewing by the editorial team.
