M/XXX-MR - MACHINERY
standardisation request to the European Committee for Standardization and to the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization as regards machinery in support of Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 of the European Parliament and of the Council
Mandate M/XXX-MR is a standardisation request addressed to the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC). It concerns machinery and supports Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 of the European Parliament and Council. The mandate aims to develop harmonised standards that ensure machinery complies with the specified regulatory requirements, enhancing safety, interoperability, and market access within the European Union. These standards will facilitate consistent application of the regulation and support technological and industrial advancements in the machinery sector.
Purpose
This standardisation mandate requests the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) to develop standards related to machinery. The work supports the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The aim is to ensure harmonised technical specifications that facilitate compliance with the regulation and enhance safety, efficiency, and interoperability of machinery within the internal market.
Standardisation request
CEN and CENELEC are tasked with preparing and adopting European standards concerning machinery. These standards should align with the requirements and objectives set out in Regulation (EU) 2023/1230. The mandate covers both mechanical and electrotechnical aspects of machinery, promoting coherence between related standards and regulatory provisions.
Expected deliverables
The expected deliverables include a comprehensive set of harmonised European standards addressing the design, safety, performance, and testing of machinery. The standards should provide clear and practical technical specifications that manufacturers, regulatory authorities, and other stakeholders can apply to demonstrate conformity with Regulation (EU) 2023/1230.
Context
Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 establishes updated legal frameworks governing machinery within the European Union. In support of this regulation, standardisation plays a critical role in facilitating market access, ensuring safety and environmental protection, and fostering innovation. The collaboration between CEN and CENELEC under this mandate reflects the need to cover both traditional mechanical machinery and electrotechnical components. This mandate forms part of the EU’s broader approach to harmonising technical requirements across sectors to ensure a well-functioning internal market.
The standardisation work covers machinery sectors in support of Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, focusing on harmonizing technical standards related to machinery to ensure safety, performance, and regulatory compliance within the European Union.
General Information
This standard deals with the safety of electrically operated commercial cooking and baking ranges, ovens, hobs, hob elements and similar appliances, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances connected between one phase and neutral and 480 V for other appliances.

This clause of Part 1 is replaced with the following. This document deals with the safety of electrically operated commercial conveyor dishwashing machines for washing dishes, glassware, cutlery and similar reusable articles, with or without means for water heating or drying, not intended for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances connected between one phase and neutral and 480 V for other appliances. These conveyor dishwashing machines are designed to be connected to hot and/or cold water supply. Dishwashing machines making use of steam or hot water for heating purposes are also within the scope of this document. These appliances are used by experts or instructed persons for commercial dishwashing in areas not open to the public, for example in kitchens of restaurants, canteens, hospitals, and in commercial enterprises such as bakeries and butcheries. NOTE 101 Examples of such appliances are: — flight conveyor dishwashing machine; — rack conveyor dishwashing machine. Requirements to avoid backsiphonage of non-potable water into the water mains are specified in Annex BB. This document deals with specific requirements on noise emitted from these appliances because the generated noise can be LpA > 70 dB(A) and is considered to be a relevant hazard. See Clause 7.12.104, 22.115 and Annex CC. The electrical part of appliances making use of other forms of energy is also within the scope of this document. This document deals with the reasonably foreseeable hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the installation place or workplace. NOTE 102 Attention is drawn to the fact that: — for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be necessary; — in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities; — in many countries, additional requirements are specified for appliances incorporating pressurized parts; — for scrapping of appliances, additional requirements can be necessary. This document does not apply to: — commercial electric dishwashing machines under EN IEC 60335 2 58; — appliances designed exclusively for industrial purposes, for example machines used in the food industry for cleaning receptacles that serve as packaging for final products (e.g. bottle-cleaning machines) and machines used in manufacturing processes; — gas heated appliances which are part of the conveyor dishwashing machines; — movable appliances; — dishwashing machines that do not form one functional unit, for example where a transportation device transfers the load from one separate unit to another; — separately driven transport devices not confined in the appliance; — appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas); — sterilizers and washer-disinfectors used to treat medical materials (EN IEC 61010 2 040). With this European revision 2.0 of the document, the EN 50416:2005 is superseded. This European revision 2.0 of the document, supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses of the standards below: — EN IEC 60335 1:2023+A11:2023+prA12:2026. Secretary’s note: The above addition has been moved from the Introduction (informative text) to the Scope (normative text) of the standard following discussions with the HAS consultants. According to an EC decision (document GROW.H.3/SM/MH/DT 12/1/2024), Part 1 must be referenced by date in Part 2. Consequently, the standard has been included in Clause 2, “Normative references”.

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/XXX-MR is a European Standardization Mandate titled "standardisation request to the European Committee for Standardization and to the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization as regards machinery in support of Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 of the European Parliament and of the Council". standardisation request to the European Committee for Standardization and to the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization as regards machinery in support of Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 of the European Parliament and of the Council There are 4 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
