1. Road Traffic Act 1988

Due to the UK leaving the European Union (EU), manufacturers holding an EU approval from an EU-27 approval authority will need to apply for a Provisional UK type approval from the VCA in order to be able to register their motor vehicles in the UK. Amendments are made to this Act to introduce the scheme to allow Provisional UK type approvals to come into force. Provisional UK type approval will be issued by the UK’s type approval authority, the VCA.

2. Road Vehicles (Approval) Regulations 2009

Due to the UK leaving the European Union (EU), minor amendments are made to the 2009 Regulations to ensure that they function following EU Exit day. This includes, for the purposes of this legislation, that the UK is treated as a Member State of the EU.

3. The Non-Road Mobile Machinery (Type-Approval and Emission of Gaseous and Particulate Pollutants) Regulations 2018

Due to the UK leaving the European Union (EU), minor amendments are made to arrangements for approval authorities when granting type approvals.
