These Regulations impose requirements with respect to the control of major accident hazards involving dangerous substances. The expressions “major accident” and “dangerous substances” are defined in regulation 2(1). The Regulations implement Directive 2012/18/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the control of major accident hazards involving dangerous substances, amending and subsequently repealing Council Directive 96/82/EC (OJ L 10, 14.1.1997, p. 13) (the “Seveso III Directive”), except for Articles 13 and 15, which relate to land use planning, and Article 30, which was implemented by the Heavy Fuel Oil (Amendment) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/162).
