In the previous issue (Vol. 2), we organized the common deficiencies pointed out in the instruction manuals. In this article, as a continuation, we will specifically explain the changes in the instruction manuals resulting from the transition from the Machinery Directive to the Machinery Regulation. As of January 20, 2027, the regulations applicable to machinery exports to the EU market will switch from "Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC" to "Machinery Regulation EU 2023/1230." The change from "Directive" to "Regulation" is not just a matter of terminology. There are several changes that require direct attention from those responsible for technical documentation and instruction manuals. In this issue, we will outline the impact of the transition to the Machinery Regulation on practical instruction manual work and highlight the points that should be addressed starting now.
