Machine Directive 2006/42/EC Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230
The Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC establishes the essential safety requirements for placing machinery on the European market. Compliance is mandatory for all manufacturers and is a key requirement for obtaining CE marking and ensuring legal market access in the EU.
The new Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, effective January 20, 2027, introduces stricter, directly applicable requirements across all EU Member States.
