EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (being updated to Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 effective 2027) requires machines placed on the EU market to meet essential health and safety requirements. Scope: all machinery with moving parts — manufacturing equipment, construction machinery, food processing equipment, material handling, power tools. If your product is a machine with moving parts that can cause injury, it likely needs CE marking under the Machinery Directive.
