Regulation (EU) 2025/14 on the approval and market surveillance of non-road mobile machinery circulating on public roads

Ce que fait l'acte

to establish technical requirements, administrative requirements and harmonised procedures for the type-approval of new non-road mobile machinery circulating on public roads, as well as rules and procedures for the market surveillance of such machinery. PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council. ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council. BACKGROUND: non-road mobile machinery is a broad category of machinery fitted with a means for its own propulsion. These machines are regularly used in certain sectors or for specific purposes, for example they are used as construction, agricultural, garden, municipal or material handling equipment. The Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection adopted the report by Tom VANDENKENDELAERE (EPP, BE) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the approval and market surveillance of non-road mobile machinery circulating on public roads and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/1020. The committee responsible recommended that the European Parliament's position adopted at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure should amend the proposal as follows: Members consider that the draft Regulation should not apply to: - non-road mobile machinery equipped with more than three seating positions when circulating on public roads, including the driver’s seating position; - non-road mobile machinery intended by the manufacturer to carry out field tests, which are inherent to the machine development process. As regards non-road mobile machinery under individual approval, the manufacturer may, where appropriate, choose to apply for EU type-approval. The proposal called for a wider definition of a ‘type’ and ‘variant’. The report proposes to make the definition of a non-road mobile machinery type and a variant less strict, in order to allow for more flexibility to accommodate for small volumes and for the manufacturer to have more very similar machines EU type-approved under the same type or variant. Member States should ensure that their approval and market surveillance authorities have the necessary resources for the proper performance of their duties. By way of derogation, Member States may limit or prohibit the circulation on public roads of non-road mobile machinery due to its excessive weight or masses, axle loads and ground contact pressure , the machinery could damage the surface of public roads or other road infrastructure, unless, in order to limit or prohibit circulation on public roads, one of these parameters is below the threshold established by Member States. Manufacturers who have sufficient reason to believe that type-approved non-road mobile machinery which they have made available on the market is not in conformity with this Regulation should immediately take the corrective measures necessary to bring that non-road mobile machinery into conformity, to withdraw it or to recall it, as appropriate, and to notify the user of that non-conformity. Manufacturers who have sufficient reason to believe that a…
