Denmark: New Executive order on technical requirements for vehicles and their equipment and use

 

Denmark has published a new law on technical requirements for vehicles.  Several categories are in scope:

Cars (M1, M2, M3), trucks (N1, N2, N3), motorcycles (2- and 3-wheelers), mopeds, tractors, non-road mobile machinery, trailers (O1, O2, O3, O4) and agricultural vehicles, etc.  The affected vehicle types correspond to those mentioned in EU-regulations 2018/858/EU, 167/2013/EU and 168/2013/EU.

In accordance with the order:

• Technical requirements for vehicles and their equipment when they have received or are seeking national, individual approval. This does not apply to unmodified, EU type-approved vehicles.
• Relevant regulations for modified vehicles that require approval, whether or not they were originally EU type-approved.
• Rules governing the use of vehicles in areas subject to the Danish Traffic Regulation Act.

L'obiettivo dell'ordine esecutivo è quello di avvicinare i requisiti tecnici danesi per i veicoli e le loro attrezzature al corrispondente regolamento UE, rispettando anche la necessità di alcune deroghe nazionali.

The proposed date of adoption is 6 December 2024, the proposed date of entry into force 1 January 2025.
