Lobbying on Road circulation requirements for mobile machinery

Road circulation requirements for mobile machinery

Single market

The main objective of this proposal is to achieve a single market for non-road mobile machinery (self-propelled mobile and towed machinery) which will, occasionally, circulate on public roads. As a result it will remove market obstacles deriving from different safety requirements for the design and manufacturing of such machinery in various Member States and maintaining a high level of safety throughout the whole EU.

VDMA Urges Simplified EU Road Approval for Mobile Machinery

Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau e.V., 12 Dec 2017

VDMA calls for a full EU conformity procedure avoiding multiple national approvals. Most safety aspects should be self-tested by manufacturers to minimize administrative costs. High-volume automotive standards should not apply to specialized low-volume machines.

The industry would avoid redundant testing and significantly lower their compliance expenses.

Independent testing bodies lose business as mandatory third-party certification is significantly restricted.
