The recast PED was published on 27 June 2014 to replace 97/23/EC.

Member States have until 28 February 2015 to implement Article 13 (Classification of equipment – alignment with Regulation 1272/2008/EC on CLP) which will apply from 1 June 2015 and the rest of the Directive is to be implemented by 18 July 2016, and will apply from the following day.

The Essential Safety Requirements are unchanged but changes do include new requirements for importers and distributers and the new number of the directive will require changes to certificates and declaration of conformity.

More detailed information will be issued when they become more readily available.
