Bitkom’s position on the «Omnibus IV» Proposal for Common Specifications and Digitalisation

Bitkom read the Commission’s «Proposal for a [Directive/Regulation] […] as regards the digitalisation and alignment of common specifications» with great interest and would like to provide input. Shortly summarized, we believe:

  • Common Specification should be designed as a clearly limited fallback option in alignment of Art. 20 of the Machinery Regulation and developed with industry involvement.
  • The proposal contains good steps towards digitalisation, but would offer a chance to introduce additional changes, such as e-labelling, digital contacts only and digital safety information.
