It is not correct to say that DSEAR is the UK Implementation of the ATEX Directive, DSEAR in the UK implements several Directives under one set of Regulations called DSEAR.

These are:

The ATEX Directive 99/92/EC (The Use Directive) The Chemical Agents Directives 98/24/EC

As there are many simalarities in both Directives.

Collectively, there are many aspects of the application of DSEAR, and it is far reaching in it's scope.

A few correction suggestions

I'm having to do a school project on laws like this, so I've been looking at the Wikipedia articles for other stuff like this, and this one feels rather barebones, compared to pages like Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002. I have a few suggestions.

Firstly, I thought it was generally considered good practice to have the long name in the title so either call it "Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002" or Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR), not just DSEAR. Currently Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 does exist, but only as a redirect to DSEAR, but I feel that should be the other way round.

Does anyone know how to do that, btw? How to switch a redirect and an article? Do I just copy the text over? Is there some renaming procedure? I'll have to ask around.

Secondly, the name doesn't have a comma in it. It's "Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002" not "Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations, 2002".

Thirdly, UK law pages generally have an infobox next to them, I think the "Infobox UK legislation" template. This one feels it should have that, but does't.

Fourthly, the article is just small, y'know? It's got 1 citation. Using the current citation, the 2 external links, and another one I found it can have 4 citations, which should be reasonably easy to make the article significantly longer (Not a stub any more, hopefully)

If no-one complains, I'll action these as soon as I have the time to figure out how and to do it, which might be next weekend or might be next year. SqueakSquawk4 (talk) 12:02, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I swapped the page with the redirect. It doesn't look like there was a precedent for it being at the less descriptive acronym title - it's just that no one had been looking at this page for a long time. If you want to move a page you can use the "more" tab next to "View history" (or you can use the shortcut alt+shift+m).

It looks like several external links were added recently, but they were removed for being too promotional, primary sources, or not necessarily related to the article. If you can find good secondary sources that aren't suppliers or compliance companies related to this regulation, please add them! Reconrabbit (talk|edits) 15:51, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
