markus.gruber@selmo.at (DI Markus Gruber) — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 10:36:37 GMT

Industrial plants are considered to be under control as long as they are producing.
In practice, this control is often measured by the stability of production. From a systemic perspective, however, this can conceal relevant risks.

When machines become safer, we all benefit - what will change from 2027

Sabine Reisinger — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 08:51:14 GMT

Machines influence our lives every day - usually without us even realizing it. They produce and package our food, mix medicines, check quality standards and control the flow of energy that supplies our households with electricity. However, as consumers, we usually give little thought to how these machines work on the inside and how safe they actually are. Yet a single unnoticed fault can have major consequences.

Retrofit and Machinery Regulation 2027: Why existing machines are now taking center stage

markus.gruber@selmo.at (DI Markus Gruber) — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 08:46:16 GMT

The new Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 replaces the previous Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) and creates a uniform, binding legal framework for all machinery placed on the market or put into service in the EU. While the old directive focused more on new machinery, the Machinery Regulation goes further: it requires that not only new, but also significantly modified machinery complies with the new requirements.
