Machinery (MD) Directive (2006/42/EC)

  Last Official Journal reference

Monday 7th of September 2026

  Description:

Cycles - Electrically power assisted cycles - EPAC Bicycles Restriction: Harmonised standard EN 15194:2017+A1:2023 does not confer a presumption of conformity with the essential health and safety requirements set out in points 1.5.9 and 3.6.3.1 of Annex I to Directive 2006/42/EC, which require machinery to be designed and constructed to take into account the risks resulting from vibrations, and that machinery must be provided with the measurement of vibrations transmitted by the machinery to the operator of the machinery.

  Purpose

This European Standard applies to EPAC bicycles for private and commercial use with exception of EPAC intended for hire from unattended station. This European Standard is intended to cover all common significant hazards, hazardous situations and events (see Clause 4) of electrically power assisted bicycles, when used as intended and under condition of misuse that are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. This European Standard is intended to cover electrically power assisted bicycles of a type which have a maximum continuous rated power of 0,25 kW, of which the output is progressively reduced and finally cut off as the EPAC reaches a speed of 25 km/h, or sooner, if the cyclist stops pedalling. This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for engine power management systems, electrical circuits including the charging system for the design and assembly of electrically power assisted bicycles and sub-assemblies for systems having a rated voltage up to and including 48 V d.c. or integrated battery charger with a nominal 230 V a.c. input. This European Standard specifies safety and safety related performance requirements for the design, assembly, and testing of EPAC bicycles and subassemblies intended for use on public roads, and lays down guidelines for instructions on the use and care of such bicycles. This European Standard applies to EPAC bicycles that have a maximum saddle height of 635 mm or more and that are intended for use on public roads. This European Standard is not applicable to EPACs which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.
