EU Machinery Regulation

Regulation European Union · 2023

The Machinery Regulation replaces the Machinery Directive across the EU and extends it to software that performs a safety function, machines with self-evolving behaviour, and digital documentation. It sets the essential health and safety requirements a machine must meet before it can be placed on the European market.

Sectoral regime. It binds the industries below; companies outside them generally fall outside it.

Countries

Where this binds. Each links to the providers apis.io has catalogued there.

Regions

Industries

Each links to that industry as a scored cohort — so the question "how ready is this sector for the regime that governs it?" becomes one you can actually look at.

Implemented by these standards

A regulation is the law; a standard is the machine-readable contract that satisfies it. Almost every regime in this catalog restricts an interface rather than requiring one — where a standard exists, it is the part a provider can actually publish.
