The regulations set safety standards, technical requirements, and operational rules. This amendment keeps those rules up to date, though the specific changes aren't detailed in this document — it just confirms they happened.\n\n**Key point:** This is a \"machinery\" amendment — it doesn't show you what changed, only that something changed. To see the actual new rules, you'd need to look at the updated 2001 Order itself."},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"The Order itself does not introduce new regulatory duties, fees or standards; it effects a textual amendment to and incorporation into the authorised version of the Principal Order.
