Machinery CE marking: scope and machine safety
Determine the machine boundary, applicable CE procedure and evidence for its intended use before EU market placement.
Define the machine being supplied
Start with the machine’s function, moving parts, energy source, users and installation. Identify whether the supply is complete machinery, an integrated assembly or partly completed machinery. A motor or controller’s conformity evidence does not establish the safety of the complete assembly.
A hypothetical conveyor joined to a packaging machine may create transfer-point crushing risks and linked stop functions. Define who supplies the resulting whole and assess those interfaces; two component declarations cannot simply be combined into a declaration for the line.
Choose the actual conformity procedure
For EU machinery placed on the market before 20 January 2027, use Directive 2006/42/EC and its actual exclusions. Article 12 distinguishes Annex IV machinery and whether harmonised standards cover all relevant requirements; a notified body is not compulsory for every machine.
From 20 January 2027, Regulation 2023/1230 uses Annex I Parts A and B and Article 25. Its Annex III safety requirements and Annex IV technical documentation must not be confused with the Directive’s Annex IV category list.
Close the evidence for the final configuration
Connect risk assessment to drawings, protective measures, control verification, relevant tests and instructions for the supplied model. Examine foreseeable misuse, cleaning, maintenance and residual risks. A generic electrical report leaves mechanical and integration risks unresolved.
Kayra’s agreed product work can organise scope review and the technical evidence plan. The manufacturer remains responsible for conformity, declaration and marking; a notified body decides only within a verified notification and selected procedure. This page does not establish Kayra notification.
