Machinery Regulation
The Machinery Regulation replaces the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. It sets essential health and safety requirements for machinery and related products, and for the first time addresses software, connected functions and protection against malicious corruption of safety functions.
Checked 18 Oct 2026
What it asks
- Machinery that meets the essential health and safety requirements.
- A risk assessment and technical documentation.
- Conformity assessment – by a notified body for certain high-risk categories.
- An EU declaration of conformity and CE marking.
How Complia supports the work
- 01
References down to the article
Requirements arrive with their Machinery Regulation article reference and a link to the official text, so every task shows where it comes from.
- 02
Owner, evidence and review
Each requirement gets an owner, linked evidence and an independent review – the same workflow as every other source.
- 03
Cross-mapping
See where it overlaps with the CRA, ISO/IEC 27001 or your own standards, so evidence collected once supports several requirements.
What stays with you
The structure in Complia is unchecked until you verify it against the official text. Conformity assessment and CE marking remain your decision and, where required, a notified body's.
