The first five guides on the platform offer authoritative guidance on the compliance of specific categories of construction machinery with European Union legislation. and serve as practical checklists – clarifying regulatory requirements, identifying what needs to be inspected and highlighting where missing information could render a machine non-compliant. The documents are being continuously updated, with further content already in development.

Designed as living, working documents, the brochures support all stakeholders across the construction equipment sector by promoting a common understanding of compliance obligations and helping ensure fair competition, safety and trust in the EU Single Market.
