No list under the Machinery Regulation yet. Every reference here is cited under Directive 2006/42/EC. The Commission's machinery standards page, in our daily capture since 9 September 2026, says a decision listing harmonised standards under Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 “is being prepared”, that it “will feature the vast majority of currently cited harmonised standards under the Machinery Directive”, and that “the first Machinery Regulation list can be expected before the end of this year”. Until that list is published in the Official Journal, no standard gives presumption of conformity under the Regulation.
