EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230: CE for Indian Machinery

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.

Machinery Regulation FAQs

Can I keep using my Machinery Directive file?

It is the base, but it must be updated for machines placed on the market from 20 January 2027.

Does every machine need a Notified Body?

No, only the high-risk categories in Annex I.

Are paper manuals still required?

Digital manuals are allowed, with paper available on request.

Requirements, portals and fees change often. PCN confirms the applicable rules for each product before quoting. Certificates are issued by the relevant authority, accredited certification body or notified body.
