Machinery Regulation

Machinery Regulation Scope Checker

Screen whether machinery or a related product is likely within Article 2 before the 2027-01-20 application date.

Saved bands only: kind_band, use_band, movement_band, excluded_band, timing_band, role_band, annex_band, part_band, standard_band, ready_band, accident_band, intent_band, software_band, data_band, control_band, change_band, update_band, ai_band, format_band, access_band, version_band, language_band, download_band, declaration_band, technical_band, retention_band, baseline_band, scope_band, ehsr_band, cyber_band, docs_band, assessment_band

What this checks

It records product type, intended use, market movement, an excluded-product indicator, and timing. Incomplete facts do not become an exemption.

Who should use it

Manufacturers, importers, and integrators who need a first scope screen.

How results work

Complete facts can return likely in scope or likely out of scope. Unknown facts, or placement before the application date, return 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 current consolidated text, Commission machinery pages, and official transition guidance.

Limitations

This is not a conformity assessment, a notified-body decision, or a machinery risk assessment.

How to read the scope result

Likely in scope

The facts describe machinery, a related product, or partly completed machinery that is placed or put into service, without an excluded-product indicator, on or after the application date.

Likely out of scope

The facts show neither placing nor putting into service, an excluded-product indicator, or a product type outside the approved categories.

Review required

Missing facts, or machinery placed before 2027-01-20, stay in review because transition rules are not an exemption.

Scope questions

Does placement before the application date mean exempt?

No. That timing stays under the applicable transition rules and returns review required.

Can an indicator alone create an exemption?

No. This screen never uses the word exempt.

Does intended use select the conformity route?

No. Intended use is only part of the scope screen.

What should I open next?

Open the operator role screen and the transition planner.
