In August 2023, a new standard EN 280-1:2022 was harmonised, covering the compliance of Mobile Elevating Working Platforms (MEWPs). Originally published in February 2022, this standard will ultimately supersede EN 280:2013+A1:2015, which also remains a harmonised standard for MEWPs until 2nd February 2025. Until this date, both standards will therefore represent ‘state-of-the-art’ for products placed on the market in the EU.
The new standard introduces a number of changes to the calculation methods and testing requirements, as well as some required physical modifications to some MEWP types. It is therefore important that manufacturers understand the updates that will be required to their machines and the associated technical files to ensure ongoing compliance in the future.
Alongside the updates resulting in EN 280-1:2022, a new standard EN 280-2:2022 has also been harmonised for load lifting devices fixed to the extending structure of MEWPs. This standard provides manufacturers with detailed requirements for the design and integration of these devices and enables Notified Bodies to robustly assess them through Type Examination.
At the time of writing, the position of the UK government with respect to designation of EN 280-1:2022 and EN 280-2:2022 (the GB equivalent to harmonisation) has not yet been confirmed, but the approach to previous standards strongly suggests that the dates adopted for designation will align with the EU.
The UK government announced on 1st August 2023 its intention to continue to recognise the CE mark as valid for placing products on the GB market indefinitely. This announcement applies to the 18 product groups that fall under the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) including machinery, and supersedes the previous mandate that these product would need to carry a UKCA mark from 1st January 2025.
The announcement, and information about UKCA marking can be found here

This change does not affect products being placed on the market today, but will have implications for manufacturers selling into both the EU and GB markets in the long term. As both the UKCA and CE marks will be accepted in GB, there will be no obligation for manufacturers to undertake specific processes required for UKCA marking. As a result, for Annex IV machinery there will be no requirement to engage both a UK Approved Body and EU Notified Body as an EC Type Examination Certificate issued by the EU Body will be sufficient to apply the CE mark.
For Annex IV products manufactured exclusively for the UK market, engagement with a UK Approved Body and UKCA marking will continue to be a sensible route to compliance in many cases.
amtri veritas and kuiper certificering remain committed to supporting our clients in realising the best route to market for their products.
