The Road Vehicles (Approval) and Passenger Car (Fuel Consumption and CO2 Emissions Information) (Amendment) Regulations 2018.

The draft regulations make amendments to national approval schemes for
Small-series type approval and Individual approval, which were set up in
2009 as foreseen under Article 23 and 24 of Directive 2007/46/EC. The
national approval schemes offer manufacturers who sell low volumes of
vehicles and sell them only into the UK, an alternative to obtaining
European Whole Vehicle Type Approval. The regulations include provisions
for accepting national approvals from other countries, in line with
Articles 23-6, 23-7 and 24-6 of the Directive which specify the Mutual
Recognition procedures which must be followed. The technical standards
for the national approval schemes have been updated to cover the latest
EU regulations on Emissions and Safety, and are closely based on the
requirements in the relevant EC Directives.

In addition we are proposing an amendment to passenger car fuel
consumption regulations, in order to implement Commission Recommendation
of 31.5.2017 on the use of fuel consumption and CO2 emission values
type-approved and measured in accordance with the World Harmonised Light
Vehicles Test Procedure when making information available for consumers
pursuant to Directive 1999/94/EC of the European Parliament and of the
Council around the introduction of WLTP testing.
