Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230
Today, every machine sold in Europe ships with a printed manual. On 20 January 2027, Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 replaces Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and allows the manufacturer to supply the instructions for use in digital form. Less paper, but four conditions to meet.
How to reach the manual is marked on the machine or, failing that, on its packaging or an accompanying document.
Users must be able to save and print it, so it stays available even when the machine is down.
For the whole expected lifetime of the machine, and no less than ten years after it is placed on the market.
If the buyer asks at the time of purchase, a paper copy is due free of charge within one month.
Machines that non-professionals may use: essential safety information must still be supplied on paper. Source: Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, Article 10(7)
The paper or scanned drawings that come with your machines are traced to DXF or DWG, redrawn from their dimensions and stored in an engineering database. Linked documentation, with links from one page and one document to the next, is the planned next step.
We handle the move of your manuals to digital, end to end. You stay focused on your machines.
Each application covers one specific discipline and works on its own. You take only the ones you need.

Decodes an Ex marking segment by segment, gives the minimum marking required for a zone and checks consistency between zone, gas and temperature. Free, no sign-up.
Legacy drawings, hand-drawn or scanned, traced to DXF or DWG, redrawn from their dimensions and stored in a searchable engineering database. For your equipment and mechanical drawings.
Discover RetraceDBCollaborative hazard and operability studies with live LOPA risk reduction tracking.
Track instrumentation, calibration schedules and field-proven (Prior Use) statistics.
Standardized device datasheets, vendor-neutral spec generation, ATEX/SIL compliance check.
Hands-free audio courses on functional safety, instrumentation and process engineering.
In engineering, calculations, studies and documentation are often spread across spreadsheets, documents and tools that do not communicate. IndustryHub brings the essentials together in one place.
The tools follow the reference documents of the profession: IEC 61508 and IEC 61511, NAMUR recommendations, VDI guidelines.
Available in English, French and German. GDPR-compliant, hosted in the European Union.
Each application works on its own. You add others as your needs grow.
Named accounts, role-based access rights and an audit trail.
