Focus: Annex I routing, Article 6 reporting, digital-document readiness, notified body lead times, and market readiness gates. The corrigendum to Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 fixes the key transition dates: the Regulation entered into force on 19 July 2023 and applies from 14 January 2027. Several provisions apply earlier, Member States and the Commission have Article 6 reporting milestones in 2025 and 2026, and products already placed on the market under Directive 2006/42/EC need a defensible transition record. This page turns those dates into an execution plan. ## 1) Key dates you should put into the program plan Use absolute dates in your tracker and keep the corrigendum dates, not older summary-page dates, in the master schedule. The high-value control is one shared timeline used by engineering, regulatory, quality, and commercial teams. - 14 June 2023: Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 adopted. - 29 June 2023: Regulation published in the Official Journal. - 19 July 2023: Regulation entered into force; Article 6(7) and Articles 48 and 52 started to apply. - 14 January 2024: Articles 26 to 42 started to apply. - 20 July 2024: Article 6(2) to (6), (8) and (11), Article 47, and Article 53(3) started to apply. - 14 July 2025: Member States must provide Article 6(5) data and information, and repeat every five years. - 20 July 2026: Commission specific report on Article 6(4) and (5). - 14 October 2026: Member States notify penalty rules to the Commission. - 14 January 2027: main application date and repeal of Directive 2006/42/EC. ## 2) Transition handling for products already placed on the market Products lawfully placed on the market under Directive 2006/42/EC before 14 January 2027 can continue to circulate, but that only works if your placed-on-market evidence is complete. For legacy products, Chapter VI market-surveillance rules apply from 19 July 2023 mutatis mutandis instead of Directive Article 11. - Store the date of placing on the market, the directive-based declaration version, the technical-file snapshot, and the exact product identifier for each model. - Do not mix a directive-era declaration with Regulation 2023/1230 technical-file language in the same release pack. - Build a decision memo per family: continue under Directive 2006/42/EC until depletion, or migrate early to Regulation 2023/1230. *Recommended next step* *Placement: after the timeline or milestone section* ## Turn EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 Deadlines and Compliance Calendar into an operational assessment Assessment Autopilot can take EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 Deadlines and Compliance Calendar from planning deadlines, owners, and milestones from this page to a reusable workflow inside Sorena. Teams working on EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 can keep owners, evidence, and next steps aligned without copying this guide into separate documents. - [Open Assessment Autopilot for EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 Deadlines and Compliance Calendar](/solutions/assessment.md): Start from EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 Deadlines and Compliance Calendar and turn the guidance into owned tasks, evidence requests, and review checkpoints. - [Talk through EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230](/contact.md): Review your current process, evidence gaps, and next steps for EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 Deadlines and Compliance Calendar. ## 3) 2024 and 2025 priorities: route discovery and evidence build The main schedule risk is late discovery that a family belongs in Annex I Part A or Part B and therefore needs a different Article 25 route. Finish classification and evidence architecture before you enter the 2026 bottleneck window. - Run scope and exclusion checks for each family: machinery, related product, or partly completed machinery. - Classify Annex I Part A, Part B, or not listed, and record why. - Map Article 25 route logic, including when Part B may still use Module A because harmonised standards or common specifications cover all relevant EHSR. - Build Annex III hazard and EHSR mappings plus Annex IV index structures while product knowledge is still current. - Stand up digital-instructions, declaration-link, and software-log retention controls in the same workstream. ## 4) 2026 priorities: finish the operating model, not just the documents 2026 is the year to prove the workflow is operational: document access, signatory control, technical-file retrieval, and notified body interaction all need dry runs. Treat 2026 as a systems-integration year for compliance. - Freeze route outcomes, complete notified body assessments where required, and control configuration changes. - Validate that digital instructions can be printed, downloaded, saved, and requested in paper within one month. - Verify that DoC or DoI links, machine-readable codes, and version histories match the shipped configuration. - Test a response pack export for market surveillance: index, declarations, instructions, core reports, and software evidence. ## Primary sources - [Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 corrigendum - Article 54 and Article 50 (EUR-Lex)](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1230/corrigendum/2023-07-04/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Primary source for entry into force, application dates, earlier-applying provisions, and the Member State penalty notification deadline. - [Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 - Article 6 reporting obligations (EUR-Lex)](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1230/corrigendum/2023-07-04/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Primary source for Member State data reporting and Commission review timing under Article 6. - [Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1922 (EUR-Lex)](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2024/1922/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Official template for Article 6(5) Member State data collection. - [Directive 2006/42/EC - Machinery Directive (EUR-Lex)](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2006/42/oj?ref=sorena.io) - Legacy framework relevant to products placed on the market before 14 January 2027. ## Related Topic Guides - [Applicability Test | EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 | In Scope?
