AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This EU decision updates the list of harmonised standards under the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. It adds new and revised standards for packaging machines, rough-terrain trucks, food processing machinery, cranes, lifts, rescue tools, hand-held tools, cableway installations, agricultural machinery, railway equipment, aircraft ground support equipment, earth-moving machinery and refuse collection vehicles. References to 15 superseded older versions are withdrawn, with transitional periods until 20 January 2027 for manufacturers to adapt. Two standards (EN 474-1:2022 for earth-moving machinery and EN 1501-5:2021 for refuse collection vehicles) are kept with specific restrictions due to technical shortcomings. A correction changes 'tall trees' to 'tall branches' in an existing restriction.
