EU Machinery Regulation 2027: Final Compliance Checklist Before Enforcement

The EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 will become fully applicable in January 2027, introducing significant changes for organisations that design, manufacture, modify or operate machinery.

Although the deadline may seem distant, the actions businesses take today will determine how effectively they manage compliance, reduce risk and avoid disruption in the future.

Join our experts as they explain the key changes introduced by the new Regulation, the impact on risk assessments, technical documentation and conformity processes, and the practical steps organisations should be taking now to prepare.

This webinar will help you understand:

• The key differences between the Machinery Directive and the new Machinery Regulation
• New and updated requirements affecting manufacturers and machinery users
• The implications for risk assessment, compliance and technical documentation
• Common challenges organisations may face when transitioning to the new requirements
• What changes the UK is making to the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations and what this means for manufacturers, importers and machinery users
• How training and competency development can support successful implementation

Whether you are responsible for machinery design, engineering, safety, compliance or operational management, this session will provide valuable insights to help you prepare for 2027 with confidence.
