From 20 January 2027 Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 replaces the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and allows instructions to be provided in digital format, where before the paper manual was mandatory. MobileReplica is already the tool to distribute them: up to date, multilingual and available everywhere.
In short, the points that matter for those who build and document machines.
Directive 2006/42/EC gives way to Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, applied uniformly across the EU. Until 19 January 2027 the directive remains in force.
The main change: instructions can be provided in digital form, accessible online and downloadable. Under the old directive paper was mandatory and digital could only accompany it.
The user can ask for a paper copy, free of charge, at the time of purchase. It must be guaranteed for the life of the product (at least 10 years).
The Regulation also updates requirements on product digitization and cybersecurity.
MobileReplica is a document distribution and management tool: it helps prepare and distribute instructions in digital form. Compliance with the Regulation remains the manufacturer's responsibility.
