Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

These Regulations implement the requirements of Regulation (EU) No. 165/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on tachographs in road transport (OJ No.L60, 28.2.2014, p.1) (“the EU Regulation”) by amending relevant primary and secondary legislation. The EU Regulation repeals a previous EU Regulation on recording equipment in road transport. It sets out obligations and requirements in relation to the construction, installation, use, testing and control of tachographs used in road transport, reflecting the fact that tachographs now use global positioning system technology. It also sets out the conditions and requirements under which the information and data, other than personal data, recorded, processed or stored by tachographs may be used. An impact assessment has been prepared for these Regulations together with a transposition note setting out how the main elements of the EU Regulation are transposed into UK law. The impact assessment is available at Freight: Vehicle Speeds, Drivers’ Hours and Enforcement Division, Department for Transport, Great Minster House, 33 Horseferry Road, London SW1P 4DR (telephone 020 7944 5813). The impact assessment is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside this instrument on the UK legislation website at www.legislation.gov.uk.
