These Regulations implement the European Parliament and Council Directive 95/16/EC (OJ No. L213, 7.9.95, p.1) on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to lifts (“the Directive”). They come into force on 1st July 1997 except that regulation 2(1)(b), which relates to the extension of the Directive to the European Economic Area, shall not have effect until the coming into force of the relevant Decision of the EEA Joint Committee. The Regulations revoke, with effect from 1st July 1999, the Electrically, Hydraulically and Oil-Electrically Operated Lifts (Components) (EEC Requirements) Regulations 1991 (S.I. 1991/2748) (regulation 1(2)).
