The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 11a to make strictly technical amendments to the Annex, in order to take account of technical harmonisation and standardisation with regard to the design, building, manufacture or construction of work equipment and workplaces, technical progress, changes in harmonised European standards or specifications and new findings concerning mechanical vibration.

Where, in duly justified and exceptional cases involving imminent, direct and serious risks to workers’ and other persons’ physical health and safety, imperative grounds of urgency require action in a very short timeframe, the procedure provided for in Article 11b shall apply to delegated acts adopted pursuant to this Article.
