Stay prepared for regulatory change
COMPLIANCE Risk Software now includes support for Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, helping machinery safety professionals prepare for the transition from the Machinery Directive.
Machinery safety legislation is changing.
Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 replaces the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and applies from 20 January 2027. For manufacturers, integrators, machinery purchasers, consultants, and duty holders, this creates an important opportunity to review assessment processes, documentation, and internal compliance workflows before the new requirements take effect.
COMPLIANCE Risk Software has been updated to support the new EU Machinery Regulation, helping users prepare for the transition with structured checklist-based assessment content, risk evaluation, evidence capture, action tracking, and professional reporting.
The move from a directive to a regulation is significant because EU regulations are directly applicable across Member States. The Machinery Regulation introduces updated requirements and a modernised legislative framework for machinery safety.
COMPLIANCE helps users approach that transition through structured assessment workflows that support clearer review, better evidence capture, and more consistent documentation.
The modernised version of COMPLIANCE includes new checklist and assessment support for Regulation (EU) 2023/1230.
This allows users to begin reviewing machinery safety considerations against updated legislative expectations, helping organisations prepare ahead of the January 2027 application date.
New legislation support is not treated as a disconnected reference document.
It is built into the same COMPLIANCE workflow used for machinery safety assessments: structured checklist responses, comments, supporting evidence, risk assessment, action tracking, and reporting.
This helps users maintain a clearer record of what has been reviewed, what evidence supports the assessment, and what actions may be required.
The Machinery Regulation transition affects multiple machinery safety roles.
Machine builders and integrators may need to review how they address requirements, prepare documentation, assess risks, and support declarations.
Machinery purchasers and end users may need to understand how incoming machinery has been assessed, what documentation has been supplied, and whether any gaps require follow-up.
Consultants can use the updated content to support clients preparing for the new regulatory landscape.
Assessment outputs can be brought into modernised COMPLIANCE reports, helping users communicate findings clearly and produce more professional documentation for clients, internal stakeholders, and compliance records.
With updated legislation support, modernised reporting, improved evidence handling, and a redesigned user experience, COMPLIANCE helps machinery safety professionals prepare for what comes next.
