Additional information

The new Petroleum (Consolidation) Regulations (PCR) came into force on 1 October 2014.

The most significant changes relate to the administrative processes, and have been designed to reduce administration for both Petroleum Enforcement Authorities (PEA) and the operators of petrol filling stations. 

The Health and Safety Executive website provides guidance on changes to petroleum regulations.
