New Machinery Regulation – Impacts and Requirements for Machinery Manufacturers
The event organized by Confindustria Emilia, "New Machinery Regulation - Impacts and Requirements for Machinery Manufacturers," is scheduled for April 11th in Modena, with AP Engineering as a co-organizer.
This workshop focuses on the new regulation that is revolutionizing industrial machine safety compared to the old Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
The aim is to promote dissemination and understanding among stakeholders of the various sectors involved in the new provisions, as well as the risks and challenges posed by the new regulation. Various aspects will be analyzed with contributions from Accreditation Authorities (Accredia), Certification Bodies, and consulting firms.
The new EU Regulation, which came into force last year, aims to standardize safety and health protection requirements for machines across all EU Member States. Compared to the old Directive, there are several formal and substantial changes that manufacturers will need to address to issue their conformity declarations starting January 2027.
