As a service to Members and other interested parties the APA website lists new UK and EU legislation relevant to the work of the Public Analyst Service. This legislation may also be of value to Environmental Health Officers, Trading Standards Officers, and others with interest in food safety, food quality, consumer safety, environmental protection etc. The information is obtained from the legislation section of the Office of Public Sector Information website and from the Official Journal L Series (Legislation) published on the Eur-Lex Website.
The legislation listings will normally be updated at approximately weekly intervals. The date of the last review is given below. The Association of Public Analysts and the Web Editor provide this information as a free service but do not warrant that the listing is complete. Users of legislation should satisfy themselves that they are aware of the latest legislation.

Current year UK and EU legislation is listed on the main pages. Legislation for earlier years, can be accessed through the "Archive" link.
For UK legislation the listings start on 1 January 2000 and are provided with live links to the HMSO website where the full text can be obtained. The legislative position within the UK is now complex with legislation emanating from the UK Parliament, The Scottish Parliament, the Welsh Assembly and the Northern Ireland Assembly. Some UK Parliament legislation only applies to part of the UK. To aid navigation the Statutory Instruments from the UK Parliament, Statutory Instruments from the Scottish Parliament, Statutory Instruments from the Welsh Assembly and the Statutory Rules of Northern Ireland are listed separately.
EU legislation is listed starting from that published in the Official Journal of 28 April 2000. Those Regulations, Directives or Decisions which could impact on areas of interest to the Public Analyst Service are listed with direct links to the English text in Eur-Lex. To access the text of the Official Journal (but not the index page) you will need Adobe® Acrobat® Reader installed on your computer.
