The Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) is a legal framework established by the European Union to ensure the safety, effectiveness, and environmental friendliness of machinery and equipment. All machinery and equipment entering the EU market must comply with the requirements of this directive. Its core goal is to ensure the safety of operators, users, and the surrounding environment, and prevent mechanical equipment from causing harm to human health and safety.

The Mechanical MD Directive requires manufacturers to:

-Ensure that the design, manufacturing, use, maintenance, and other aspects of the equipment comply with safety standards.

-Provide necessary operating instructions and safety warnings.

-Conduct necessary security verification and testing before market sales.
