REGULATION (EU) 2025/14 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 19 December 2024
on the approval and market surveillance of non-road mobile machinery circulating on public roads and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/1020
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 114 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) |
Self-propelled mobile machinery, falling within the scope of Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), that is designed or constructed with the purpose to perform work (‘non-road mobile machinery’), might need, whether occasionally or regularly, to circulate on public roads, mostly to move from one working place to another. |
(2) |
This Regulation covers only self-propelled machinery. Towed machinery equipment is not covered by this Regulation because such equipment is normally towed by motor vehicles falling within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). Such equipment should be covered by Regulation (EU) 2018/858, which regulates the type-approval of motor vehicles including their trailers. The Commission should address the need to establish, under Regulation (EU) 2018/858, detailed technical requirements relating to the road safety of the specific category of towed machinery equipment, insofar as such equipment is not subject to such requirements under the existing rules. |
(3) |
Certain aspects of the design and construction of non-road mobile machinery are already covered by Union harmonisation legislation, in particular by Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), Directive 2000/14/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), Directive 2006/42/EC, and Directives 2014/30/EU (7) and 2014/53/EU (8) of the European Parliament and of the Council. |
(4) |
As regards the safety of mobile machinery, Directive 2006/42/EC is the main regulatory act applying to that machinery when placed on the market. It sets out essential health and safety requirements covering the off-road travelling functions of mobile machinery such as slowing down, stopping, braking, driving positions and restraint systems. However, the essential health and safety requirements set out in that Directive are only designed to address safety when the machinery is at work, and do not cover the safety aspects of that machinery when circulating on public roads. |
(5) |
Due to the absence of harmonised rules on the road safety of non-road mobile machinery, economic operators that produce, or make available on the market, non-road mobile machinery face significant costs associated with differing regulatory requirements across the Members States. In addition, the road safety of that machinery is not ensured uniformly in the whole territory of the Union. Therefore, it is necessary to establish harmonised rules at Union level with respect to the road safety of non-road mobile machinery. |
(6) |
For the purposes of the development and operation of the internal market, it is appropriate to establish a harmonised type-approval system and an individual approval system for the road safety of non-road mobile machinery intended to circulate on public roads. |
(7) |
The objective of this Regulation is to address the risks associated with the intended circulation of... |
