Proposal for a regulation
Recital 16
(16) Household appliances intended for domestic use which are not electrically operated furniture, audio and video equipment, information technology equipment, office machinery, low-voltage switchgear and control gear and electronic motors fall within the scope of Directive 2014/35/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council21 and should therefore be excluded from the scope of this Regulation with the exception of mechanical safety of those appliances, which should be part of this Regulation. Some of those products are progressively incorporating Wi-Fi functions, e.g. washing machines, and are therefore covered by Directive 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council22 as radio equipment. Those products should also be excluded from the scope of this Regulation. __________________ 21 Directive 2014/35/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits (OJ L 96, 29.3.2014, p. 35). 22 Directive 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of radio equipment and repealing Directive 1999/5/EC (OJ L 153, 22.5.2014, p. 62).
