The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 (Prescribed Documents and Information for Verification of Name and Address) Regulations 2013

These Regulations prescribe the documents and information which are sufficient to verify the name and address of the person supplying scrap metal, for the purposes of section 11(3)(a) of the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. Section 11 of the Act places an obligation on a scrap metal dealer to verify the full name and address of the person who supplies the scrap metal before receiving it. Failure to fulfil this obligation will constitute a criminal offence. This offence can be committed by the scrap metal dealer, the site manager, and any person who has responsibility for verifying the name and address of the supplier under arrangements that have been made by the dealer or the site manager.
