# Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on machinery, and amending Directive 95/16/EC (recast) (Text with EEA relevance), Division 6.2: CONTROL DEVICES

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Where safety requirements do not impose other solutions, the carrier must, as a general rule, be designed and constructed in such a way that persons in the carrier have means of controlling upward and downward movements and, if appropriate, other movements of the carrier.
In operation, those control devices must override any other devices controlling the same movement with the exception of emergency stop devices.
The control devices for these movements must be of the hold-to-run type except where the carrier itself is completely enclosed.
