20 January 2027
The general application date for the Machinery Regulation.
Make the transition specific to your business
The main changes may be familiar. The harder question is what they mean for your machines, risk assessments, instructions, technical documentation and internal responsibilities. The Roadmap Sprint provides a focused assessment with a clearly defined scope.
Four steps from current state to roadmap
The sprint moves from understanding the existing process to a concrete implementation plan.
- Review: establish the products, processes and available CE documentation
- Gap analysis: compare the current approach with relevant Machinery Regulation requirements
- Prioritise: assess relevance, risk and implementation needs
- Plan: define actions, responsibilities and practical next steps
What we look at
The scope is agreed around your product portfolio and existing organisation.
- Products, manufacturer obligations and conformity assessment procedures
- Risk assessment, machinery safety and safety concepts
- Technical documentation, evidence and document structures
- Instructions for use and assembly instructions, including digital provision
- Safety-related software, connected systems and protection against corruption under Annex III, section 1.1.9
- CE responsibilities, approvals, templates and internal interfaces
Retain what already works
Not everything needs to be rebuilt. Findings distinguish between existing arrangements that can be retained, material requiring adaptation, new processes to establish and issues needing a deeper product-specific assessment.
Who the sprint is for
Machinery manufacturers, manufacturers of partly completed machinery, plant builders and system integrators with an existing CE process. Typical participants include management, technical leadership, development, CE coordination, quality and technical documentation.
A defined engagement, remotely or on site
We agree the product scope at kick-off, review the available material, complete the gap analysis and discuss the priorities. The final roadmap identifies the next implementation steps. Further implementation support can be agreed separately.
What you receive
- A Machinery Regulation gap assessment
- A prioritised list of actions
- A concise management summary
- Your Machinery Regulation implementation roadmap
Deliverables are agreed to match the product, project stage and scope.
Frequently asked questions
When does the Machinery Regulation apply?
Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 generally applies from 20 January 2027; some provisions apply earlier. The sprint focuses on the requirements relevant to your products and processes.
Do we need to start our CE process again?
Not necessarily. We identify what can be retained, what needs adaptation and what must be established.
Is the sprint a general presentation on the regulation?
The result is a company-specific assessment and action roadmap based on your existing processes and documents.
juristech supports technical assessment, regulatory classification and documentation within the agreed scope. Responsibility for product conformity, technical implementation, marking and release remains with the manufacturer or other responsible economic operator.
