MACHINERY
Map machinery safety, technical-file, instructions, declaration and CE evidence while keeping the 2027 Machinery Regulation transition separate from current duties.
QUICK ANSWER
Machinery placed on the EU market before 20 January 2027 remains under Directive 2006/42/EC where it is in scope. Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 applies from 20 January 2027, so this checker separates the current route from transition planning.
DATES THAT CHANGE THE ANSWER
Live obligations and future milestones are deliberately separated. Countdown cards are planning aids; product scope still depends on the actual product and role.
MACHINERY REGULATION
Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 applies from 20 January 2027 and replaces the Machinery Directive for products placed on the market from that date.
WHAT TO VERIFY
INTERACTIVE PREFLIGHT
Answer what you know. The engine maps product features, role and sales channel to rule cards and compares them with evidence you say you already have. It does not inspect or authenticate a document.
Boundary: this is an automated evidence-gap preflight, not a legal determination, conformity assessment, certificate or guarantee that a product may be sold.
