How it works
The regulation sets essential health and safety requirements for machinery placed on the EU market; the manufacturer performs a risk and conformity assessment, prepares technical documentation and a declaration of conformity, and affixes CE marking. New is the coverage of cybersecurity and AI aspects that affect safety.
Problem solved
The previous Machinery Directive did not fully cover new risks arising from digitalization, artificial intelligence, autonomy and cyber threats affecting machine safety.
