Dear Mr Ossege
From 21.07.2015 the modification of machinery is defined only for equipment subject to registration and
additional inspection in Estonia (certain cranes, hoists, lifts, fairground equipment etc).
Please notice that our institution does not deal with engines installed to vehicles. However, in case the
machinery falling under the scope of the machinery directive 2006/42/EC is used in Estonia, and this
machinery is subject to registration (please see list as attached), then following regulation applies:
Modification (rebuilding, renovation, reconstruction) of the equipment is total modification in case all
the elements of the equipment are replaced. Partial modification is replacement of main unit as well
as all works done with equipment which alter (transform) the operating characteristic of the
equipment.
Please find appropriate legal act from: https://www.riigiteataja.ee/akt/118072015002 . The definition of
the modification of the equipment subject to registration is provided in �2 (1). Translated versions are
unavailable, sorry.
Before 21.07.2015 the previous legislation stated that the modification of the machinery is:
- changing main operating characteristic of the machinery
- changing design/construction/structure of the safety-related parts of the machinery
- changing electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic circuit of the machinery
- changing the control system of the machinery
- changing forces having effect to the parts of the machinery
I hope this information is helpful for you.
Best Regards,

Subject: Modification of Products
Dear Richard Saarman,
my name is Frederik Ossege and I�m working for a mechanical engineering company, which offers
turbomachinery like turbines and compressors.
In April 2015, German Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs has published a paper in which they
explain the decision of �substantial� or �no substantial modifications� of products, you may have heard of it
(please refer to attachments).
As I know, the question of modifying products is differently answered in each EU-member state.
Therefore, let me ask as follows:
Does Estonia have an official paper in which they describe the modification of products for their country?
If yes, could you please send a copy or source of such a paper to me?
This would be very helpful.
Thank you in advance.
Mit freundlichen Gr��en / Best regards
Frederik Ossege
