The Mines and Quarries (Metrication) Regulations 1976 establish specific requirements for the metrication of measurements and practices within mines and quarries in Great Britain. These regulations were enacted under the authority of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Employment Protection Act 1975. They detail the precise dates for their issuance, making, laying, and coming into force, which was set for January 1, 1977. The regulations were later revoked by subsequent legislation.

These regulations are a historical legal document detailing specific metrication requirements for the mining and quarrying industries. As a statutory instrument, their primary value lies in their precise legal wording and the context they provide for the evolution of health and safety legislation in the UK. Their eventual revocation indicates that their provisions have been superseded by more current or comprehensive regulations.
