Third Delegated Legislation Committee: The draft Supply of Machinery (Safety) (Amendment etc.) and the EU Machinery Regulation (Enforcement etc. in Northern Ireland) Regulations 2026

Parliamentary debate

Parliament will scrutinise two sets of regulations governing machinery safety standards in the UK and Northern Ireland. The regulations update domestic safety rules and establish how EU machinery standards will be enforced in Northern Ireland post-Brexit, replacing direct EU oversight with a new enforcement framework that affects manufacturers and importers of machinery.

These regulations determine the safety standards that all machinery sold in the UK and Northern Ireland must meet, protecting workers and consumers from dangerous equipment. They reshape the regulatory relationship between Britain and the EU on this issue, particularly for Northern Ireland where the arrangement differs from Great Britain, and affect manufacturers and importers who must comply with the new enforcement regime.
