        magazine complied with all the relevant requirements concerning safety
        distances imposed by those Regulations; and

   (b)  the magazine continues to comply with those requirements as if those
        Regulations had not been revoked.

(2) This regulation ceases to apply if a magazine is subject to any change
that has the effect of creating a new hazard or of increasing the risk
associated with an existing hazard.
