MR 2023/1230 Seminar
The seminar ‘MVO 2023/1230 in Manufacturing’ provides a comprehensive understanding of the new European Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 and its implications for manufacturing companies. The focus is on the transition from the previous Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC to the binding regulation, which introduces expanded requirements and greater legal certainty. Participants will learn about the key changes – including those relating to conformity assessment, technical documentation, cyber security and the use of new technologies such as artificial intelligence. The seminar provides a practical guide to how companies can implement the requirements of the new regulation at an early stage, what implications this has for manufacturers, suppliers and operators, and how legal, safety-related and organisational aspects can be optimally integrated into business practice.
