EXPLANATORY NOTE  
(This note is not part of the Regulations)  
These Regulations are made in the exercise of the powers conferred by section 8(1) of the European 
Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16) in order to address failures of retained EU law to operate 
effectively and other deficiencies (in particular under paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) and (g) of  section 
8(2)) arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.  
These Regulations make amendments to legislation in the field of type -approval for road vehicles 
and non -road mobile machinery, replacing the amendments made by the R oad Vehicles and Non -
Road Mobile Machinery (Type -Approval ) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regul ations 2019 (S.I. 
2019/648) which expire on 31st December 2022.  
They also amend a number of Commission Regulations made under Regulation (EU) 661/2009 of 
the European Pa rliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 concerning type -approval requirements 
for the general safety of motor vehicles, their trailers and systems, components and separate 
technical units intended therefor.  The Commission Regulations amended set out t he type -approval 
requirements in relation to windscreen defrosting and demisting systems;  rear registration plates; 
towing devices; windscreen wiper and washer systems; wheel guards; spray suppression systems; 
tyres; gear shift indicators and vehicle acces s and manoeuvrability.   122 [The net costs imposed on business, the voluntary sector and the public sector by these Regulations 
have been assessed as being less than £5m in any year and therefore a full impact assessment has 
not been prepared.]
