Abstract
After 15 years of validity of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC a big change awaits us. We will soon be obliged to apply Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2023 on machinery. Replacing the directive with a regulation aims to avoid divergent implementation of the directives’ provisions and, consequently, inconsistent interpretation of the provisions at national level. The provisions of the regulation, due to the importance of regulations in the field of, for example, health and safety protection and conformity assessment, must be applied in a uniform manner by all entities throughout the European Union. An additional argument for the change was that the current regulations are not adapted to the technological changes that are dynamically occurring on the market. The provisions of the regulation will apply from January 2027.
