It revises Articles 42.6, 46.3, 50.5, 59.3 and Annex III of Royal Decree 581/2017, setting new training and qualification recognition criteria. This directly impacts professionals and centres operating in these fields, requiring them to review their qualification validation processes.

  2. Annex III of Royal Decree 581/2017 is amended to include qualifications homologated in accordance with the new European regulation (anexo III del RD 581/2017)
