The Machinery Directive has been through several incarnations since it was first implemented in the UK by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 1992 and the Supply of Machinery (Safety) (Amendment) Regulations 1994. In 2001, improvements New Machinery Directive 2009designed to simplify and clarify the existing Directive were published as proposals for a third amendment, and the new Directive was published in 2006. This version will become enforceable on 29 December 2009, and unlike previous amendments, there is no transitional period for compliance.
