EU Machinery Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1230)

The EU Machinery Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1230), adopted 14 June 2023, entered into force July 2023, applying from 20 January 2027 (replacing the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC). It governs machinery safety (CE marking, essential health and safety requirements) and expressly covers autonomous mobile machinery and collaborative robots, with new Annex III requirements on AI, cybersecurity, and human-robot collaboration; Annex I Part A (toughest, mandatory third-party type-examination) includes safety components with self-evolving machine-learning behaviour. SCOPE: humanoid and industrial robots/cobots are IN scope as machinery; road motor vehicles are EXCLUDED (Art. 2(2)(g) - they fall under separate type-approval, Reg (EU) 2018/858); drones/UAS sit under the EASA framework, not the Machinery Regulation. (formFactors=['humanoid'] for current registry state - the humanoid robots it governs; expand to other in-scope robot categories as they are added.)

EU Machinery Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1230) is recorded as a safety_standard applying in European Union on the DEPLOY registry.

EU Machinery Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1230) is recorded as effective July 19, 2023 on the DEPLOY registry.

EU Machinery Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1230) is currently in effect and applies to covered operators in the named jurisdiction.

EU Machinery Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1230) is recorded as applying to humanoid robots on the DEPLOY registry.

8 robot models on the DEPLOY registry match the form-factor scope of EU Machinery Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1230): 4NE-1, AEON, ALICE M1, ALLEX and 4 others. Form-factor scope match does not by itself establish compliance status; review the underlying primary sources for each operator.
