Regulations for tanks and pressure receptacles
New amending regulations on the construction and use of tanks and pressure receptacles used in the carriage of dangerous goods came into force in June. The Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Transportable Pressure Vessels (Amendment) Regulations 2003 (SI 2003/1431) extend certain existing requirements and implement a European Directive. New carriage of dangerous goods regulations are currently under consultation, and will come into force in 2004.
