Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 · Machinery Regulation
The new Machinery Regulation replaces Directive 2006/42/EC with a hard cutover: new cybersecurity requirements for safety software, new rules for digital instructions, third-party assessment for AI safety functions, and a declaration of conformity that must be rewritten — not restamped. This catches EU manufacturers and UK/non-EU exporters alike.
What the pack covers
The delta
Exactly what moved from 2006/42/EC, item by item with legal bases, so the rework is scoped in hours instead of discovered in an audit.
Safety-related software must be protected against corruption — a requirement that did not exist in 2006/42/EC. Evidence belongs in the file.
A 2006/42/EC file does not carry over for machines placed on the market after 20 Jan 2027. The DoC must cite the new Regulation.
Self-evolving safety functions land in Annex I Part A: third-party assessment is mandatory, harmonised standards alone don't exempt you.
Manuals may go digital — but only with lifetime accessibility and free paper on request at purchase.

What the pack contains
The part that eats your engineers' month: knowing exactly what the new Regulation wants from your machines, before January.
Self-assessment or notified body, machine by machine, with the Article 25 reasoning written out so your engineer can challenge it against the Regulation — not against our software.
The complete technical-file structure with the new requirements built in — including the software-integrity evidence section updated machines fail first — and the old-vs-new delta, item by item.
Ranked gaps with remediations, and the Annex V declaration-of-conformity structure ready to complete — rewritten for the Regulation, never restamped.
Founding pilot
Onboarding a small founding cohort by email, one company at a time.
One-off
Kept current
Pilot guarantee: if your pack doesn't surface at least three gaps specific to your machines, you don't pay. The alternatives today are £50 generic CE templates still written for the old Directive, or a five-figure consultancy engagement with a waiting list — there is no other productized pack for Regulation 2023/1230 that we could find, and we looked hard.
Card payments are taken by Stripe on its secure checkout page — this site stores no payment details. Pay by card now (€590, refunded in full if the pack does not surface at least three gaps specific to your company), or by invoice after scoping with nothing owed until your order is confirmed in writing. Our solicitor's pre-launch review is ongoing; its wording lands on these pages the day it arrives.
Honest limits
Stated here rather than in the small print, because in machinery safety an overclaim is not marketing — it is a hazard.
MachineryReady produces internal readiness documentation: file skeletons, delta reports, gap lists, a DoC structure. It is not legal advice and not a conformity assessment.
It is not a CE marking. Where Annex I requires a notified body, no document pack substitutes for one — and the pack flags when that is likely.
What we build is the scoping and the structure — your engineers keep engineering; they stop spending a month decoding the Regulation.
