[open-regulatory-compliance] Machine directive and the CRA

[Dirk-Willem van Gulik <dirkx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We have, in the scope (Art.2) quite clear defintions for regulations that are lex specialis/trump the CRA for medical, in vitro, normalish cars, aero space and maritime. But it does not mention the Machine directive.

Do we know why -- or is/was the assumption that 2.5.b:

	The application of this Regulation to products with digital elements covered by other Union rules laying down requirements that address all or some of the risks covered by the essential cybersecurity requirements set out in Annex I may be limited or excluded where:
	(b)the sectoral rules achieve the same or a higher level of protection as that provided for by this Regulation.

WOuld kick in ?
