The European Union officially implemented the updated industrial machinery safety accessory standard in July 2026, which puts forward stricter requirements on the material safety, wear resistance and anti-static performance of all transmission equipment accessories entering EU countries, including conveyor belt, modular plastic chain and conveyor roller. This new standard will directly affect the export orders of a large number of machinery parts manufacturers in China, and many overseas buyers have begun to require suppliers to provide updated test reports before placing orders.
The core adjustment of the new standard focuses on three dimensions of conveyor belt products: first, the plastic raw materials in contact with food must provide complete food-grade migration test reports; second, the anti-static performance of modular plastic chain used in electronic workshop production lines must reach the EU surface resistance standard; third, the service life of conveyor roller under high-load operation needs to be increased by 30% compared with the original standard, and manufacturers must provide wear resistance test data.
Many foreign trade enterprises that export conveyor accessories said that the new standard has raised the entry threshold of the EU market, but it also screened out low-quality competitive manufacturers, which is conducive to regular manufacturers with complete testing equipment and certification qualifications to expand long-term cooperative customers. Our company's full range of conveyor belt, modular plastic chain and conveyor roller products have completed the re-testing according to the new EU standards, and all certification documents can be provided to customers for customs clearance at any time.
From the perspective of market demand, after the implementation of the new standard, European buyers are more willing to sign long-term framework orders with Chinese manufacturers with complete qualification certificates, instead of purchasing cheap uncertified conveyor roller from small factories. Logistics, food processing, beverage filling and other downstream industries have increased their procurement budget for high-standard conveyor belt by about 18%, and customized modular plastic chain for special production lines has become the key procurement demand of major European factories.
Industry experts suggest that all suppliers exporting industrial transmission accessories should complete product re-certification as soon as possible, sort out the complete test report of conveyor belt and modular plastic chain, and actively send relevant qualification documents to old and new customers to enhance customer trust and avoid order delays caused by customs inspection problems. At the same time, manufacturers can take the new standard as a selling point to highlight their product quality advantages when negotiating with overseas purchasers, and improve the conversion rate of inquiry orders.
