New "Machinery regulation 2023/1230" will be binding January 2027! Are you prepaired for this?
The Machinery regulation 2023/1230 will be binding January 20th, 2027 and replaces over night the Machinery directive 2006/42/EC.
Talk with us about the changes!
The machinery regulation will be valid without any delay as a “EU law” for all EU countries!
The main changes want to cover innovations:
- New risk related to digital techonologies (e.g. Cyber security, Software based safety functions, …)
- Re-assessment of high-risk machines (e.g. AI Technologies, Software based safety functions, …)
- Reduction of paper-based documentation requirements (Electronic User Manual)
New health and safety requirements
- Safety of systems that have safety related functions with self-evolving behaviour
- Protection against corruption of safety functions in machinery products with digital elements
- That the user of machinery products, where applicable, can test the safety functions
- Avoidance of the need of demanding work posures or movements an manual force exertions that exceed the opertor‘s capacity
- Avoidance of risk to contact in case of human machine interaction or coexistence in a shared space
- Adequuate machine access dimensioning
- Approproiate contents and format of instructions for use
- Protable hand-held or hand guided machinery products having exhaust fume provisions
- Safety of autonomous mobile machinery
- Safety belt reminder or inhibition of operating certain mobile machinery when the safety belt is not used
- Filtration of hazardous substances for operators on ride –on mobile machiery applying such substances
- Prevention of risk of contact with overhead powerlines for mobile maschinery
- Inclusion of provisions covering reasonably foreseeable misuse
