Explanatory Note Paragraph 1 B171 Explanatory Note The purpose of this Regulation is to regulate the emission of air-pollutants from non-road mobile machinery. 2. The Regulation is divided into 4 Parts. Part 1 Preliminary 3. Part 1 provides for commencement, defines terms used in the Regulation and provides for the scope of application. Part 2 Control of sale, lease and use of non-road mobile machinery 4. Section 4 provides that it is an offence to sell or lease, or cause to be sold or leased, a regulated machine for use in Hong Kong without an approval. The machine must bear a label that the air pollution control authority (Authority) assigned to it on approval or exemption. It is an offence if the label does not comply with the requirements specified in Schedule 2. 5. Section 5 provides that it is an offence to use or cause to be used a regulated machine in a specified activity without an approval. The machine must bear a label that the Authority assigned to it on approval or exemption. It is an offence if the label does not comply with the requirements specified in Schedule 2. 6. Section 6 provides that it is an offence to use or cause to be used a non-road vehicle at a specified location without an approval. The vehicle must bear a label that the Authority assigned to it on approval or exemption. It is an offence if the label does not comply with the requirements specified in Schedule 2.
Explanatory Note Paragraph 7 B173 Part 3 Approval, exemption and modification 7. Section 7 provides that the Authority may approve a regulated machine or non-road vehicle if the Authority is satisfied that the emission from the machine or vehicle conforms to the prescribed emission standard provided in Schedule 1. 8. Section 9 provides that the Authority may exempt a regulated machine or non-road vehicle from the application of section 4(1), 5(1) or 6(1) if the Authority is satisfied that there is a genuine need to use the machine or vehicle and there is no feasible means to conform to the prescribed emission standard. The exemption is subject to any conditions regarding the use or handling of the machine or vehicle. 9. Section 11 provides that the Authority may exempt an existing regulated machine or non-road vehicle from the application of section 4(1), 5(1) or 6(1). Existing regulated machines or nonroad vehicles are those machines or vehicles that are in Hong Kong at any time on or before 30 November 2015. 10. Section 13 provides that if an approved regulated machine or non-road vehicle, or an exempted regulated machine or nonroad vehicle is modified materially without a permission by the Authority, the approval or exemption is to be regarded as revoked. Section 14 provides that the Authority may permit a modification if the Authority is satisfied that after the modification the emission from the machine or vehicle (for an approved machine or vehicle) will conform to the prescribed emission standard at the time the approval was given; (for an exempted machine or vehicle) will not exceed the emission level of the machine or vehicle as was at the time the exemption was given.
Explanatory Note Paragraph 1 1 B175 11. Section 16 provides that the Authority may revoke an approval, exemption or permission if Part 4 Miscellaneous the Authority has reasonable ground to believe that any document or information provided in support of the application for the approval, exemption or permission is false or misleading in a material particular; or after an approval or exemption is given to a nonroad vehicle, the vehicle is licensed under the Road Traffic (Registration and Licensing of Vehicles) Regulations (Cap. 374 sub. leg. E). 12. Section 17 provides that it is an offence to provide or cause to be provided any document or information that is false or misleading in a material particular in an application for approval, exemption or modification. 13. Section 18 provides that it is an offence to display or cause to be displayed a label purporting to be a label as required under the Regulation on any regulated machine or non-road vehicle that is false or misleading in a material particular.
