I prepare the safety documentation for new and modified machines, in line with the EU Machinery Regulation that applies from 20 January 2027. Site survey in Vienna, Lower Austria, Burgenland and throughout Austria, write-up in Neusiedl am See.
Book an initial callA machine has been built or modified, but the risk assessment is missing or out of date. The performance level of the safety functions has not been verified. The instructions still describe the old state.
Without these documents, conformity cannot be demonstrated – neither for the declaration of conformity nor for the CE marking. Anyone who substantially modifies a machine takes on these manufacturer obligations themselves.
Define limits, identify hazards, estimate risks, derive measures – for new and existing machines.
Determine the PLr for each safety function and verify the achieved PL to EN ISO 13849-1.
Checking whether a modification makes you the manufacturer.
Assessment to EN 60204-1, for example emergency stop, control circuits and protective measures.
To the requirements of the Machinery Regulation, digital if you wish.
Compiling the technical file, drafting the EU declaration of conformity; for partly completed machinery the declaration of incorporation.
You describe the machine, the modification and the documents you have. I tell you what is needed.
In the Machinery Regulation Check (from €890 net) I record hazards and safety functions. Then a fixed price; if you place the order, the check is credited.
Risk assessment, PL verification and instructions are prepared in the office, questions by email or video.
You receive all documents digitally, plus a list of measures if retrofits are needed.
For my master craftsman project in 2025 I prepared the complete CE documentation: risk assessment, instructions for use, EU declaration of conformity. The safety technology (Pilz safety relay, emergency stop, pressure relief) follows from the risk assessment.
All referencesOnly if it has been substantially modified. Then the manufacturer obligations apply to the modified machine, including conformity assessment and CE marking. Without a substantial modification no new marking is needed; for operation in Austria the Employee Protection Act (ASchG) and the Work Equipment Ordinance (AM-VO) apply.
The PLr is the required performance level that the risk assessment demands for a safety function. The PL is what the control system as built actually achieves. The verification shows that the achieved PL is at least as high as the PLr.
No. The EU declaration of conformity is signed by the manufacturer, meaning whoever places the machine on the market or substantially modifies it. I prepare the documents on which it is based.
In a 15-minute initial call we clarify which documents are missing and how we proceed.
