The Machinery Directive UK 2006/42/EC is a set of regulations put forth by the European Union to govern machinery safety within its member states.

The European Union adopted the Machinery Safety 2006/42/EC to establish a unified set of safety standards for machinery across its member states. The goal is to enhance machinery safety, reduce the risk of accidents, and facilitate the free movement of machinery within the EU market.
By harmonizing regulations, the EU aims to ensure that machinery manufacturers, importers, and users adhere to a common set of safety requirements, thereby creating a safer and more competitive market.
The Machinery Safety covers a wide range of products, including industrial machinery, mobile machinery, and consumer products with integrated machinery components. This direction applies to any machinery’s that could pose a risk to the health and safety of individuals when used. Whether you are a manufacturer, importer, or user of machinerys, understanding which products fall under the Machinery Safety is crucial for compliance.
While the Machinery Safety applies to many types of machinery, there are certain exemptions. These include machinery’s designed for specific purposes, such as military equipment or machines for research purposes, as well as machinery already regulated by other directions. Understanding these exemptions is vital for businesses to ensure they are in full compliance with the law.
