HOME &#8211;\u00a0 faq Machinery Directive Consulting To whom does the Machinery Directive 2006\/42\/EC apply? It applies to manufacturers, authorized representatives, and importers who place machinery, partly completed machinery, interchangeable equipment, and lifting accessories on the European market. The regulation covers almost all industrial machinery and plants, including cases of those who internally assemble a production line, build a machine for own use, or carry out substantial modifications to existing plants. In these cases, the user assumes the same obligations as the manufacturer, including CE marking. What documents are required for the CE marking of a machine? The following are required: a technical construction file, risk analysis according to EN ISO 12100, instructions for use in the user&#8217;s language, a CE declaration of conformity, and physical CE marking on the product. Is Directive 2006\/42\/EC still valid in 2026? Yes, it is fully valid. It will be replaced by the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023\/1230 starting from January 20, 2027. MTM Consulting also supports companies in the transition toward the new regulation. How long does the CE marking process for a machine take? It depends on the complexity of the product. For standard machines, it ranges from 4 to 8 weeks; for complex machines, it can take 12-16 weeks. MTM provides a detailed work plan after the initial free analysis. ATEX Directive Consulting What is the difference between ATEX Directive 2014\/34\/EU and Legislative Decree 81\/2008? Directive 2014\/34\/EU concerns products placed on the market. Legislative Decree 81\/2008 (Title XI) concerns workplaces with explosion risks. MTM integrates both compliances into a single consultancy path. When is a notified body required for the ATEX Directive? The intervention of a notified body is mandatory for Category 1 (Group II) and M1 (Group I) equipment. For Category 2, the obligation varies based on the nature of the product (electrical or non-electrical). For Category 3, the intervention of a notified body is never required, and the manufacturer can proceed independently with internal documentation. Must ATEX zoning be updated over time? Yes. It must be reviewed whenever production processes, materials, or plant layouts change, or following structural modifications. MTM offers periodic review services. Must my existing plants be adapted to the ATEX Directive? Plants must comply with the safety requirements of the Legislative Decree. 81\/2008. New equipment must be ATEX certified. MTM assesses the level of compliance and indicates priority corrective actions. Machinery Regulation When does the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023\/1230 become mandatory? Regulation (EU) 2023\/1230 will become mandatory from January 20, 2027, the date on which the previous Directive 2006\/42\/EC will be definitively repealed. Until that deadline, companies must continue to apply exclusively Directive 2006\/42\/EC. Currently, in fact, early voluntary application of the new Regulation for CE marking is not permitted. However, it is essential to use this transition period to adapt design and technical documentation to the new requirements. The goal is to be ready for January 20, 2027, when the transition to the new legislation will be immediate and without derogations. Do machines already certified under Directive 2006\/42\/EC need to be re-certified? No. Products already placed on the market before January 20, 2027 in compliance with Directive 2006\/42\/EC remain valid and do not require new interventions. However, all new machines placed on the market starting from January 20, 2027, must mandatory comply with Regulation (EU) 2023\/1230. MTM analyzes each situation case by case to guide its clients through the correct regulatory transition to maintain the CE compliance of your machines. Does Regulation 2023\/1230 also apply to machine control software with artificial intelligence? Yes. The regulation introduces specific provisions for systems with machine learning that perform safety functions, requiring updated risk assessments and dedicated documentation. What is the gap analysis for the transition to Regulation 2023\/1230? It is a comparative analysis between existing documentation (Directive 2006\/42\/EC) and the new requirements of Regulation 2023\/1230. It identifies what is missing, what needs to be updated, and the intervention priorities. PED Directive Does the PED Directive also apply to pressure equipment assemblies? Yes. It applies both to individual equipment and to assemblies, i.e., groups of pressure equipment assembled to form an integrated functional unit. What is the pressure threshold for the application of the PED Directive? The directive applies to equipment with a maximum allowable pressure (PS) greater than 0.5 bar. When is a notified body required for the PED Directive? For category II, III, and IV equipment, the involvement of a notified body is mandatory. For category I, the manufacturer can proceed independently. Must equipment imported from non-EU countries comply with PED? Yes. Any pressure equipment falling within the application limits of the PED directive placed on the EU market must comply with Directive 2014\/68\/EU, regardless of the country of production. Machine Safety &#8220;Pre-1996&#8221; Must machines built before 1996 be CE marked? No. If placed on the market before September 21, 1996, they are not subject to the Machinery Directive. However, they must comply with the minimum safety requirements of Annex V of the Legislative Decree. 81\/2008. Who is responsible for the adaptation of pre-1996 machines? The employer is directly responsible. They must ensure that all machines in use are safe and comply with current legislation, regardless of the year of construction. What happens if a pre-1996 machine is not adapted? The machine cannot be used. The company risks administrative sanctions, production halts, and, in the event of an accident, civil and criminal liability for the employer. Can I continue to use an old machine if I have it overhauled internally? Internal overhauling is not sufficient without a formal risk assessment and the preparation of the technical documentation required by Annex V. MTM Consulting verifies compliance and prepares all necessary documentation. CE Marking HelpDesk How many queries can I send with the HelpDesk service?
