Machinery Regulation 2023/1230: the 2027 transition and later AI changes
Separate the 20 January 2027 machinery transition from earlier provisions, retained certificates and the 2026 AI amendment’s specific effects.
Use the actual first EU placement date
Regulation 2023/1230 generally applies from 20 January 2027; selected institutional and transitional provisions apply earlier. For machinery placed on the EU market before that date, Directive 2006/42/EC remains the applicable machinery framework. Record the actual first placement, not merely an invoice or production date.
A hypothetical vehicle-servicing lift ordered in 2026 is first supplied to the EU market after 20 January 2027. The earlier order does not reserve the Directive route. Conversely, a product lawfully placed before the date can continue to be made available under Article 52’s conditions.
Reclassify categories and documentation
Regulation Annex I Part A includes vehicle-servicing lifts and requires an Article 25(2) body-involving route: B+C, H or G. Part B permits internal production control only with the specified complete standards or common-specification coverage. Do not reuse the Directive Annex IV decision without comparison.
Compare the Regulation’s Annex III safety requirements, Annex IV technical documentation and Annex V declarations with the Directive file. Check digital instructions, safety software and substantial modifications where relevant. Article 52 retains Directive type certificates and approval decisions until expiry, but does not waive new supply obligations.
Separate later AI provisions from the 2027 procedure
The 27 July 2026 consolidated text includes amendment 2026/1744. Article 8 provides for delegated high-risk-AI safety requirements applying by 2 August 2028; Article 20(10) adds a limited AI standards/common-specifications presumption. These provisions do not postpone the general 2027 machinery date or create a blanket AI certificate.
Kayra can support an agreed transition gap comparison and evidence plan. The manufacturer chooses and completes the applicable procedure, with a genuinely notified body where required. Check later delegated acts and current references for an AI-equipped design; no future scope, notification or authority decision is assumed.
