| Abstract |
These regulations implement those provisions of EEC Council Directives 76/767/EEC, 84/525/EEC, 84/526/EEC and 84/527/EEC which relate to the verification and inspection of pressure vessels. The regulations provide for the appointment of inspection bodies; empower them to carry out checks, examinations and tests of gas cylinders as are required for EEC verification and to affix to the gas cylinders the appropriate EEC verification marks and to issue to the manufacturer an EEC verification certificate; enable manufacturers to present gas cylinders to inspection bodies for EEC verification and to apply to the Secretary of State for a review of a decision by an inspection body refusing to affix the appropriate EEC verification mark or to issue the appropriate EEC verification certificate. |
