1. Construction site hoists建筑工地提升裝置，以前是排除在機械指令98/37/EC和提升指令95/16/EC外的，現在他歸屬在新機械指令2006/42/EC。提升超過3米作為危險機械(附錄四17條)

　　2. 武器等排除在機械指令外，但一些手提彈藥裝置(用于工業等)劃到機械指令附錄四，見18條。

　　3. Equipment intended for lifting persons with machinery designed for lifting goods 不使用機械指令。

　　4. Agricultural and forestry tractors by Directive 2003/37/EC,Trailers and interchangeable towed machinery are in the scope of both the Tractors Directive 2003/37/EC and the Machinery Directive,

　　農業林業拖拉機適用2003/37/EC，排除在機械指令2006/42/EC外，拖拉機上拖車和互換部件是符合拖車2003/37/EC指令和機械2006/42/EC兩個指令。

　　5. nuclear power industry which does not give rise to a risk of emission of radioactivity is not excluded from the scope of the Machinery Directive.

　　核目的機械排除機械指令外，但無泄漏危險的機械可認定為機械指令內

　　6.It should be noted that the use of radioactive sources may be subject to authorisation and control according to the national provisions implementing Directive 96/29/Euratom and Directive 2003/122/Euratom.

　　有放射性物質的設備應考慮96/29/EC和2003/122/EC

　　7.Consequently, the exclusion of weapons, including firearms, from the scope of the Machinery Directive does not extend to cartridge-operated fixing and other cartridge- operated impact machinery designed for industrial or technical purposes

　　輕武器劃歸91/477/EEC武器指令，但彈藥推動固定機械裝置為機械指令2006/42/EC內

　　8.motor vehicles and their trailers covered by Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (1), with the exclusion of machinery mounted on these vehicles,

　　內燃機車和拖掛屬于70/156/EEC指令(舊指令為70/156/EEC)，但機車上的安裝的機械屬于機械范圍。

　　9.Vehicles not intended for use on the road such as, for example, off-road quads,ATVs, go-karts, golf-carts buggies and snowmobiles, are subject to the Machinery Directive, unless they are exclusively intended for competition

　　不在公路上的一些如休閑車，小型汽車，高爾夫貨車，雪上移動設備 屬于機械2006/42/EC指令

　　The same is true of vehicles with a maximum design speed not exceeding 25 km/h such as, for example, certain compact road sweepers.

　　Machinery mounted on road vehicles or trailers such as, for example, loader cranes,tail-lifts, vehicle or trailer-mounted compressors, vehicle-mounted compaction systems, vehicle mounted concrete mixers, skip loaders, powered winches, tipper bodies and vehicle or trailer-mounted mobile elevating work platforms, are subject to the Machinery Directive

　　時速超過25 km/h并在公路上行駛的四輪機車屬于2007/46/EC機車指令。不超過25 km/h 的一些機車比如掃路車，機車安裝設備如隨車起重機，尾部升降機，車輛或拖車式壓縮機，車載壓實系統，車載式混凝土攪拌機，跳過裝載機，動力絞盤，自卸車機構和車輛或拖車式移動式升降工作平臺都劃歸2006/42/EC機械指令

　　10. 行駛在公路上的兩輪或三輪車屬于2002/24/EC指令。但速度小于6km/h的;步行推動的;供殘疾人物理手動的;非公路使用的;電動推動，這些兩輪或三輪車都是屬于2006/42/EC機械指令

　　11. 機械指令不含任何空氣動力或水上運輸設備：休閑船其指令為2003/44/EC(舊指令為94/25/EC) ，船上的任何設備和不屬于機械指令，被認定為船一部分。航船和移動離岸單元和安裝在遠航船和移動離岸單元甲板上的機械適用2002/75/EC指令(舊指令為96/98/EC)

　　12.The exclusion of means of rail transport only concerns rolling-stock intended to travel on national rail networks or on rail systems connected to such networks.

　　Machinery intended to travel on rails not connected to such national rail networks, such as, for example, self-propelled machinery running on rails for underground work, are not

　　excluded from the scope of the Machinery Directive.

　　區分鐵路上設備主要看是在鐵軌上還是在鐵路系統上。機械一般是行駛在鐵軌上但不是鏈接成鐵路網絡的，比如地下手動推動的。鐵路系統上的要符合2008/57/EC高速鐵路系統的可互操作性TSI指令。

　　13.二手機械用2009/104/EC，不采用機械指令。

　　14.Manually powered machinery intended for lifting loads, whether goods or persons or both, is subject to the Machinery Directive – see §328: comments on section 4.1.1 (a) of Annex I. Examples of such machinery include manually powered hoists and cranes,jacks, lifting tables, pallet and stacker trucks and mobile elevating work platforms.

　　手動舉升機械比如手工電葫蘆及起重機、千斤頂、升降臺、托盤堆垛機和卡車、移動式升降工作平臺均屬于機械2006/42/EC指令
