New regulation on non-road mobile machinery published in EU Official Journal
We are pleased to announce that the long-awaited Regulation (EU) 2025/14 on the approval and market surveillance of non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) circulating on public roads was officially published in the EU Official Journal on 8th January.
This important regulation aligns closely with the provisional agreement published back in March 2024 and introduces crucial technical and administrative requirements for EU type-approval and market placement of new NRMM for public roads.
Key highlights include:
- Entry into Force: 28 January 2025.
- Entry into Application: 29 January 2028.
- Scope:
- Applies exclusively to self-propelled machinery intended to circulate on public roads.
- Excludes towed machinery equipment and mobile machinery with a design speed below 6 km/h or exceeding 40 km/h.
- Small Series Threshold: A limit of 70 units has been confirmed.
- EU Individual Approval: Detailed provisions are included in Chapter IX.
- Delegated and Implementing Acts:
- A delegated act will outline the methodology for calculating threshold values (Article 5) and address technical requirements for NRMM on public roads (Article 16).
- An implementing act will establish specific threshold values, ensuring oversight by Member States.
- Transitional Provisions: Between 29 January 2028 and 29 January 2036, Member States may continue applying national type-approval laws for NRMM. Manufacturers can choose EU type-approval, EU individual approval, or compliance with national law during this period.
This regulation, together with the recent publication of the study on technical requirements for the road approval of NRMM, marks a strong step forward. According to Article 50(7), the European Commission will need to issue delegated acts outlining the specific technical requirements for road approval before 29 January 2027.
CECE remains highly involved in this file and will closely monitor the next steps, maintaining open communication channels with legislators on the upcoming adoption of the technical requirements.
We finally encourage readers to explore the CECE article titled “CECE welcomes progress on NRMM technical requirements” for an in-depth look at a few key study's findings.
