From the Machinery Directive to the new Machinery Regulation The new Machinery Regulation marks a decisive step for European manufacturers of industrial technologies: the replacement of the Directive by a Regulation provides for a directly applicable and more uniform legal framework across all Member States, strengthening the harmonisation of the European market and reducing uncertainties in its application. In a highly innovative sector such as machinery for glass processing, the discussion will examine the new regulation as an opportunity to rethink design, technical documentation, the management of software as a safety component and supply chain contracts.
