The Export of Dangerous Chemicals Regulations 1992
These Regulations, which apply to Great Britain, make provisions which are necessary to give full effect to Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2455/92 (OJ No. L251, 29.8.92, p.13) (the Council Regulation). The principal purposes of the Council Regulation are first to establish a common system of notification and information for imports from and exports to countries which are not members of the European Economic Community of certain dangerous chemicals; and, second, to apply the international notification and “prior informed consent” (PIC) procedure established by the United Nations Environment Programme and the Food and Agriculture Organisation.
