Regulatory
Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230: software, OTA, CE
July 2026·7 min min read
Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 replaces Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. For connected machines, mechanics and safety are not enough — software, AI, and OTA updates can shift CE logic (substantial modification).
Common pitfalls
- OTA without change control / risk assessment
- AI features without a clear provider/documentation chain
- Split teams for safety, firmware, and compliance
Our contribution
Technical and documentary support: gap vs the Regulation, interfaces to CRA/AI Act, prep for CE-relevant changes — as an engineering partner, not a notified body. Full applicability oriented toward 20 Jan 2027.

Bottom line
Regulatory and certification topics are engineering topics with deadlines. Structuring early saves lab loops and compliance downtime.
