Heavy Fuel Oil (Amendment) Regs 2014

The Heavy Fuel Oil (Amendment) Regulations 2014 came into force on 20 February 2014

20 Feb 2014
Hazardous substances - England, Scotland and Wales

The Heavy Fuel Oil (Amendment) Regulations 2014 amend the Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) Regulations 1999 and the Planning (Hazardous Substances) Regulations 1992.

Heavy fuel oil is reclassified as a "petroleum product" rather than as being "dangerous for the environment", increasing the inventory thresholds under which COMAH and planning requirements related to hazardous substances apply.
