Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation)

The European Communities (Motor Vehicles Type Approval) Regulations 1978 ( S.I. No. 305 of 1978 ) implemented in Ireland those provisions of a number of European Community Directives which deal with the type approval of motor vehicles, their trailers and components. The relevant EC Directives are listed in the Schedule to those Regulations.

Subsequent Regulations have been made amending S.I. No. 305 of 1978 , the latest being the European Communities (Motor Vehicles Type Approval) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2006 ( S.I. No. 166 of 2006 ), by substituting a new schedule to take account of certain type approval directives subsequently adopted.

These Regulations provide for an amendment of the European Communities (Motor Vehicles Type Approval) Regulations, 1978, ( S.I. No. 305 of 1978 ) as amended by the European Communities (Motor Vehicles Type Approval) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations, 2006 ( S.I. No. 166 of 2006 ).

These regulations substitute a new schedule 1 for schedule 1 of S.I. No. 305 of 1978 , as amended by S.I. No. 166 of 2006 , to include the following additional separate directives and a Commission Decision relating to a directive:

Directive 2005/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (relating to vehicle emissions)

Commission Directive 2005/78/EC (relating to vehicle emissions)

Commission Directive 2006/20/EC (relating to fuel tanks and rear underrun protection)

Commission Directives 2006/27/EC (relating to braking, statutory markings, maximum design speed, torque and net engine power and certain components and characteristics of 2/3 wheel vehicles)

Commission Directive 2006/51/EC (relating to emission control monitoring systems)

Commission Directive 2006/72/EC (relating to certain components and characteristics of two or three-wheel motor vehicles) and

Commission Decision 2006/368/EC (relating to test requirements for frontal protection systems tests specified in Directive 2005/66/EC).
