Latest News on Frontal Protection Systems that we have received from the DTTS
Frontal Protection Systems (FPS)
The compliance of after market FPS will be controlled under the General Products Safety Regulations Frontal Protection System Legislation 2005, which prohibits the placing on the market of any dangerous goods. It will therefore be illegal to place on the market, or offer for sale, any non-compliant FPS after 25th May 2007.
HOWEVER, whilst the legislation has been transposed into UK law for Whole Vehicle Type Approval, the Department has yet to carry out the public consultation with all interested parties and transpose this legislation for after market use. We therefore feel it would not be prudent to enforce non-compliance at this time and would not expect this to happen until the transposition is completed later this year, probably around October or November.

“In other words” – It is perfectly legal to sale ‘Front Bars’ until at least October/November although we believe it will be longer, All Bars bought and fitted before this date will still be legal to have fitted to your vehicle after this date.
