Indian pumps, packaging lines, food machinery and machine tools are well established in Europe. From 20 January 2027, the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 replaces the Machinery Directive. It brings new rules for high-risk machinery, connected and AI-enabled machines, cybersecurity against corruption, and digital instructions. PCN updates your CE files before the switch.
