Étant donné les différences techniques considérables entre les divers types de machines - des machines simples et manuelles aux machines utilisées par du personnel qualifié -, certains amendements n’ont pas été adoptés et l’on a décidé, à la demande de la Commission, de les inclure dans les normes élaborées par le Comité européen de normalisation. Cela a permis d’obtenir un consensus et d’adopter l’amendement 39 et le Conseil a confirmé cette position.
In view of the large technical differences between different types of machine — from simple, hand-operated ones to those operated by qualified personnel — some of the amendments were not adopted and it was decided that they will be contained in standards developed by the European Committee for Standardization at the request of the Commission. Thanks to this a consensus was achieved, Amendment 39 was adopted, and this position has been confirmed by the Council.
