Regulations Governing the UK Automotive Industry

The UK automotive industry is subject to a wide range of regulations, both domestic and international. Some of the most important regulations include:

  • Vehicle Emissions Standards: The UK has implemented EU emissions standards for new vehicles, and these will continue to apply in the UK after Brexit. These standards regulate the emissions of pollutants from vehicles, such as CO2, NOx, and particulate matter.

  • Road Safety Regulations: The UK has a number of regulations in place to ensure road safety, such as requirements for seat belts, child seats, and airbags. These regulations are designed to reduce the number of road accidents and fatalities.

  • Environmental Regulations: The UK has a number of environmental regulations that apply to the automotive industry, such as regulations on the disposal of waste vehicles and the use of recycled materials. These regulations are designed to protect the environment and promote sustainable practices.

  • Labour Laws: The UK has a number of labour laws that apply to the automotive industry, such as minimum wage requirements and health and safety regulations. These laws are designed to protect the rights of workers and ensure a safe working environment.

  • ISO Standards: The automotive industry is also subject to a number of ISO standards, such as ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management). These standards are voluntary, but they are widely adopted by automotive manufacturers.

Specific Regulations

  • The Road Vehicles (Approval) Regulations 2009: These regulations govern the type approval of new vehicles in the UK. They set out the requirements that vehicles must meet in order to be approved for sale in the UK.
  • The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986: These regulations govern the construction and use of vehicles in the UK. They set out the requirements that vehicles must meet in order to be safe and roadworthy.
  • The Environmental Protection Act 1990: This act sets out the environmental regulations that apply to the automotive industry. It includes provisions on air pollution, noise pollution, and waste disposal.
  • The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974: This act sets out the health and safety regulations that apply to the automotive industry. It includes provisions on working conditions, hazardous substances, and accident prevention.

Conclusion

These are just a few of the regulations that govern the UK automotive industry. The specific regulations that apply to a particular business will depend on its activities.

Broadly speaking the vehicle safety measures for working on HS2 (High Speed Two) sites that apply are taken from the CLOCS standard. The CLOCS standard was aligned with the FORS Silver accreditation in June 2015.

The IP rating, or International Protection Marking as it technically known is part of the IEC standard 60529. It is sometimes interpreted as Ingress Protection Marking, but its job is to classify and rate the degree of protection provided against intrusion (body parts such as hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact, and water by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures. It is published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The equivalent British standard is EN 60529.
