Covers machinery and equipment with a drive mechanism: machine tools, construction and agricultural equipment, lifting devices, safety components and partly completed machinery.
Machinery means an assembly of linked parts or components, at least one of which moves, with the appropriate actuators, control and power circuits, joined together for a specific application.
The Machinery Technical Regulation covers a wide range of equipment — from industrial machine tools to agricultural machinery and lifting devices.
Lathes, milling machines, grinding machines, drilling equipment, stamping and bending presses
Circular saws, band saws, jointers, woodworking milling machines, chain saws (stationary)
Combine harvesters, mowers, seeders, sprayers, pumping units (excluding tractors)
Concrete mixers, mortar pumps, construction hoists, compressors, concrete vibrators
Industrial mincers, dough sheeters, packaging and portioning equipment
Electric hoists, overhead cranes, forklift trucks, slings, chains, hooks, safety components
The following categories are excluded from the Machinery Technical Regulation:
The choice of assessment module depends on whether the machine is listed in Annex 4 (high-risk machinery).
Applies to machinery not listed in Annex 4. Also applies to Annex 4 machinery if all harmonised standards are fully applied. The manufacturer independently prepares the technical documentation and declaration.
No notified bodyRequired for Annex 4 machinery (e.g. circular saws, metal cold-working presses, woodworking machines) where harmonised standards are absent or not fully applied. The notified body performs type examination.
Notified bodyAn alternative to Module B+C for Annex 4 machinery. The notified body audits and approves the manufacturer's quality management system. Applied at the manufacturer's choice.
Notified bodyAnnex 4 includes: circular saws, band saws for woodworking, jointers, vertical milling machines for woodworking, portable chain saws, presses for cold-working metals, injection or compression plastics moulding machines, and others.
The Machinery Technical Regulation establishes five groups of requirements:
General principles of safe design
Safety integration at the design stage: elimination or minimisation of risks, guarding and protective devices, information about residual risks. The hierarchy of protective measures principle.
Control and command systems
Safe and reliable control systems: control devices, starting, stopping, emergency stop, operating modes, fault tolerance of safety systems.
Protection against mechanical hazards
Stability, strength, hazards from moving parts, sharp edges, entanglement — guards and protective devices, safe access for maintenance.
Protection against non-mechanical hazards
Electrical safety, extreme temperatures, fire and explosion, noise and vibration, radiation, laser radiation, hazardous materials, slipping and falling.
Technical documentation and marking
Instructions for use in the language of the destination country, machine marking (manufacturer, year, series, power), warning inscriptions. The technical file must be retained for 10 years.
Identify applicable requirements
Check whether the machine is listed in Annex 4. Identify the relevant harmonised standards: EN ISO 12100 series (general safety), EN ISO 13849 (safety-related control systems) and type-specific standards for the equipment.
Risk assessment
Carry out a risk assessment (EN ISO 12100): hazard identification, risk estimation, risk reduction measures to an acceptable level. Document the results.
Technical documentation (technical file)
Compile the technical file: general description of the machine, drawings, diagrams, list of applied standards, risk assessment results, test reports, instructions for use.
Declaration of conformity
Draw up a declaration of conformity referencing the Machinery Technical Regulation (CMU №62) and listing the applied standards. Signed by the person authorised by the manufacturer.
Marking and placing on the market
Affix the conformity marking and mandatory information on the machine. Provide instructions for use in the Ukrainian language. Retain technical documentation for 10 years.
Machinery frequently falls under several technical regulations simultaneously — declarations can be combined.
If the machine is powered from the mains — it additionally falls under LVD for electrical safety. If the only hazard is electrical, the machine falls under LVD only.
Learn more →Electrically driven machines with control systems fall under the EMC Technical Regulation for electromagnetic compatibility. The EMC declaration is often combined with the machinery declaration.
Learn more →If the machine contains electronic components — it may fall under the RoHS Technical Regulation for restriction of hazardous substances. A single combined declaration can be prepared.

Annex 4 lists high-risk machinery: circular saws, band saws for woodworking, jointers, vertical milling machines for woodworking, portable chain saws, presses for cold-working metals, etc. For these, if harmonised standards do not fully cover all requirements, involvement of a notified body (Module B+C) is mandatory.
For most machinery (not listed in Annex 4) — no. The manufacturer independently carries out the risk assessment and issues the declaration (Module A). For Annex 4 machinery without full standard coverage — a notified body is required.
Partly completed machinery is a sub-assembly intended for incorporation into other machinery but unable to perform a specific application on its own (e.g. an industrial robot arm without a control system). An Incorporation Declaration — not a declaration of conformity — is issued for it.
Yes, handheld power tools (drills, angle grinders, rotary hammers) fall under the Machinery Technical Regulation. They also simultaneously fall under the LVD and EMC Technical Regulations. Manufacturers typically draw up a single combined declaration.
Instructions must be in the language of the country where the machine is placed on the market. For the Ukrainian market — Ukrainian is mandatory. The manufacturer may additionally provide instructions in other languages, but the Ukrainian version is required.
