UK 103R Legislation Now In Force For Everyone

"As of today, the 103R legislation for catalytic converters is in force at all levels in the UK aftermarket. It is essential that all UK distributors do not offer for sale any non approved stock for vehicles first registered on or after 1/3/01. The VCA will begin enforcing the legislation at all levels with immediate effect. Their role is to ensure that non approved catalysts are not sold or fitted to Y reg vehicles onwards. It is an offence to do so and the VCA do have the powers to fine offenders up to £5,000, although they do stress that this is a last resort. If you are still unsure which parts are affected by the legislation, please contact a member of our Marketing department or your Regional Sales Manager."

 

Statement by Mark Blinston, Sales and Marketing Director, BM Cats.
