  It is evident that often it is**not possible or very difficult to realise at every mobile workplace a**
  **standard close to that of a stationary workplace**. It is a permanent challenge for legislators and 
  supervisors, which minimum limits have to be fulfilled, and at what point these working conditions pose 
  a significant health risk where regulation of minimum standards is needed. 
  
  A major issue during the pandemic of 2020/2021 was the**drastically increased number of office**
  **workers doing remote or telework**who used without much preparation time mobile digital equipment 
  in an often not well-adapted private home. The EU legislation closest to the**OSH aspects of ICT work**
  **and mobile ICT work are Directive 89/654/EEC (Workplace Directive) and Directive 90/270/EEC**
  **(Display screen equipment DSE Directive)**that set standards for stationary workplaces. However, the 
  Workplace Directive excludes mobile workplaces, and the Display screen equipment directive refers to 
  the technological situation of the nineties, that is, large monitors and desktop computers. As determined 
  in the EU Strategic Framework 2021 to 2027 both directives will be revised in the next year; this revision 
  might extend the scope to mobile workplaces that are until now excluded and refer to the current 
  technological status of IT devices.
