Hi Daniel

The Product Safety and Metrology etc. (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 
2019 amend the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 as follows:

Amendment to Schedule 2 Part 2 Annex II

24.—(1) Schedule 2 Part 2 Annex II (Declarations) is amended as follows.
(2) In Section 1 Part A (EC Declaration of conformity of the machinery)—
(a) in the heading and in the third paragraph omit “EC”;
(b) in point 2 omit “, who must be established in an EEA state”;

Point (b) removes the obligation for the person who is authorised to compile 
the technical file to be based in Europe, but does not replace it with an 
obligation for them to be based in the UK. So as things stand at present, they 
could be located anywhere, world wide. It’s not clear whether this is an 
oversight by the UK Government when they drafted the amending Regulations or if 
it was intentional.
