These Regulations create an information sharing gateway that enables the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to share information. This is to facilitate provisions contained in the trade agreement between the UK, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway (EEA/EFTA countries*).

*The 3 EFTA countries are linked to EU Member States to form an internal market that enables the free movement of people, goods, services, and capital.

Technical changes are also made to address deficiencies in retained EU legislation, relating to chemicals. These deficiencies arose from the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union (EU).
