• The Shipowners' Refrigerated Cargo Research Association of 140 Newmarket Road, Cambridge. has been appointed as the competent authority in the UK for testing orexamining insulated and refrigerated equipment carrying perishable foodstuffs to and from France. From the beginning of July regulations which already apply to French hauliers will be extended to cover international traffic with the exception of through traffic.
The regulations specify the use of specialized equipment suitable for maintaining the temperature throughout transit in conditions necessary for preservation.
The equipment must be certified. Formal declarations prepared by competent authorities in the country of registration of the equipment will be accepted as well as identification cards already issued for equipment by Transfrigoroute Europe or Interfrigo.
Equipment too large for the research .association's testing chamber can be examined by the association's experts either at Cambridge or at the premises of the owner of the equipment. The fee will vary in accordance with the cost.
