What this checks

It records the economic operator role and whether the product is placed on the market or put into service. It does not certify that the duties are met.

Who should use it

Teams assigning manufacturer, importer, distributor, representative, or modifier work.

How results work

A known role with placing or putting into service returns that duty category. An unknown role, unknown movement, or neither movement returns review required.

Key date

Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 applies from 2027-01-20 and replaces Directive 2006/42/EC. Products placed on the EU market before that date remain under the applicable transition rules. Results are readiness screening, not a conformity assessment.

Official sources

Use the obligations in the consolidated Regulation and Commission guidance. Do not treat this screen as legal certification.

Limitations

Duty categories are screening labels. They do not replace the operator's own legal review.

How to read the role result

Named duty

Manufacturer, importer, distributor, and authorised representative each map to their own duty category when market status is known.

Modifier review

An integrator or modifier receives modifier review, not an automatic manufacturer conclusion.

Review required

Unknown role, unknown market status, or neither placing nor putting into service stays in review.

Role questions

Does the screen certify the operator?

No. Legal certification stays false.

What if two roles might apply?

Record the role you are screening. Mixed roles should stay in a specialist review outside this result.

Does neither mean out of scope?

No. Neither returns review required on this tool.

What should I open next?

Open the Annex I screener or the substantial modification checker when that is the question.
