The proposed provisions transpose Directive (EU) 2024/2839 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2024 amending Directives 1999/2/EC, 2000/14/EC, 2011/24/EU and 2014/53/EU as regards certain reporting requirements in the fields of food and food ingredients, outdoor noise, patients’ rights, and radio equipment.

Also, the proposed provisions transpose Directive (EU) 2024/2749 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2024 amending Directives 2000/14/EC, 2006/42/EC, 2010/35/EU, 2014/29/EU, 2014/30/EU, 2014/33/EU, 2014/34/EU, 2014/35/EU, 2014/53/EU and 2014/68/EU as regards emergency procedures for the conformity assessment, presumption of conformity, adoption of common specifications and market surveillance due to an internal market emergency.

The amended Directives are transposed into national law by means of the following legislation:

1.         Simple Pressure Vessels Regulations (S.L. 427.01)

2.         Noise Emission in the Environment by Equipment for Use Outdoors (S.L. 427.19);

3.         Pressure Equipment Regulations (S.L. 427.29);

4.         Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations (S.L. 427.30);

5.         Low Voltage Electrical Equipment Regulations (S.L. 427.34);

6.         Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations (S.L. 427.35);

9.         Equipment and Protective Systems intended for Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (S.L. 427.39); and

10.       Radio Equipment Regulations (S.L. 427.41).

The proposed Legal Notice amends the aforementioned legislation to align national law with the requirements of Directive (EU) 2024/2749, thereby allowing national competent authorities to derogate from the conformity assessment procedures to mitigate the potential impact of internal market disruptions during a crisis and ensure that, when the internal market emergency mode is activated, harmonised crisis-relevant goods can be placed on the market without delay.
