Change
The EU-UK Joint Committee added Regulation (EU) 2025/14 on approval and market surveillance of non-road mobile machinery to Annex 2 of the Windsor Framework.
Why it matters
The decision brings the machinery approval and market-surveillance regulation into the Windsor Framework’s Annex 2 machinery category. Manufacturers, importers and market-surveillance teams handling covered non-road mobile machinery for Northern Ireland must treat Regulation (EU) 2025/14 as part of the applicable Windsor Framework rule set.
Implications
  • — Machinery manufacturers placing covered non-road mobile machinery on the Northern Ireland market must align approval files with Regulation (EU) 2025/14 under the Windsor Framework.
  • — Importers and distributors handling covered machinery for Northern Ireland must update compliance checks to reflect Regulation (EU) 2025/14 in Annex 2.
  • — Market-surveillance teams must apply the added Union act when assessing covered non-road mobile machinery circulating on public roads.
Who is affected
  • — Manufacturers of non-road mobile machinery for the Northern Ireland market
  • — Importers and distributors of covered machinery under the Windsor Framework
  • — Market-surveillance authorities handling machinery compliance
What to watch
  • — Decision adoption date: February 2, 2026
  • — Entry into force: February 3, 2026
  • — Annex 2 point 14 covering construction products, machinery, cableways and personal protective equipment

Clarify™ · Grounded, not generic

Why not a general AI assistant?

A general assistant will answer almost anything — including beyond what it actually knows, which is where drift and hallucination come from. Ask it the same question twice and you can get two different answers — no good when you need a record you can stand behind.

Clarify™ works differently. It answers only from the specific brief in front of you and its cited primary source. Ask something the brief doesn’t cover and it says so, rather than inventing an answer — and the same question returns a consistent, grounded answer every time. The trade-off is deliberate: narrower, but defensible enough to act on.
