Legal updates

There are some changes to legislation:

• Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (Amendment) Regulations 2010
  Amends the previous regs., replacing ‘dangerous substance or preparation’ with ‘dangerous substance or mixture’ and (as from 1 December 2010 and 1 June 2015) substitutes new definitions of ‘dangerous substance or mixture’. Also other changes that do not affect those people on the SSS Register of Legislation.

• Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010.
  Have been updated. The main impact is the removal of the need to register for exemption. See an earlier blog on this.

SSS will be sending out issue "P" of the Register of Legislation to all those companies to whom we have supplied 14001 or 18001 systems.
