For this reason, and to emphasise the traffic management purposes, enforcement authorities outside London must [footnote 5] apply different parking penalties to different contraventions.

This guidance should also be read in conjunction with the guidance on Certification of Approved Devices, and the Home Office Surveillance Camera Code of Practice.

There are different requirements when the penalty charge notice acts as the NtO - see the section in this guidance on ‘Enforcement using approved devices’).
