INCOMING REGULATION

New Machinery Safety Regulation

The new EU Machinery Regulation (EU 2023/1230) replaces the previous Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) and aims to better address emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, autonomous machinery, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Key changes include stricter cybersecurity measures, mandatory digital instructions, and more robust conformity assessments for some categories of machinery.

What’s New About the New Machinery Regulation

The Five Main Points At A Glance

The regulation introduces stricter cybersecurity measures to protect machinery from cyber threats, unauthorized access, and data breaches. Manufacturers must ensure that network-connected machines have adequate safeguards to prevent manipulation and maintain operational safety.

Machinery using artificial intelligence, autonomous functions, or IoT connectivity must meet new safety and risk assessment requirements. The regulation aims to ensure that AI-driven decision-making does not compromise safety and that autonomous systems operate predictably and securely.

Certain categories of high-risk machinery now require third-party certification before being placed on the EU market. This ensures that advanced and potentially hazardous technologies undergo independent evaluation to meet the highest safety standards.

National authorities now have broader powers to monitor, inspect, and take action against non-compliant machinery. The regulation strengthens enforcement mechanisms to ensure that only safe and compliant machines enter the European market.

Unlike the previous Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC), which required transposition into national laws, the new EU Machinery Regulation (EU 2023/1230) applies directly in all EU member states. This ensures a uniform and immediate implementation in all EU countries.
