Council and European Parliament agree on new safety requirements for machinery products

BRUSSELS, 16 December 2022, (TON): The Council and the European Parliament negotiators have reached a provisional agreement on the regulation for machinery products. The proposed legislation transforms the 2006 machinery directive into a regulation.

The 2006 directive is one of the main pieces of legislation governing the harmonisation of essential health and safety requirements for machinery at EU level.

It promotes the free movement of machinery within the single market and ensures a high level of safety for EU workers and citizens.

Jozef Síkela, Czech minister for industry and trade
