Is your documentation really ready for January 20, 2027?
Ready for the new Machinery Regulation?
From 2027 you can deliver machinery documentation digitally. QRcube® supports the management and retention of this documentation, with version traceability and the paper version always available when needed.
Delivering the sheet to the customer isn't enough: every revision under Article 31(9) must be sent without delay to recipients supplied in the previous 12 months. Missing an update: administrative fines up to €60,000.
Distribute SDS with no risk
With SDS Manager you send sheets to your customers, propagate updates to those who received them and keep proof of every transmission. Fully tracked, supporting compliance.
Loris Angeloni is Chief Revenue Officer at Certiblok and has spent years working with manufacturing and chemical companies on the documents required by European regulations. He focuses on the EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230, safety data sheets and REACH/CLP, the Digital Product Passport, the Drinking Water Directive and audit and inspection readiness.
Certiblok will participate in the Data Protection Hub 2026 on October 21st, an N4B event focused on cybersecurity, AI, and compliance. The company will present solutions for the protection, traceability, and integrity of digital information in the age of Artificial Intelligence. It will be an opportunity to discuss how to address the challenges of digital transformation while maintaining security and control.
Managing vendor audits often involves sharing sensitive documents. Using company credentials to grant access is an unnecessary risk. Solutions exist that allow for maximum transparency and control, without compromising the security of your data.
The Drinking Water Directive (EU) 2020/2184 introduces stringent new requirements for materials in contact with drinking water. From 2027, manufacturers must ensure detailed, traceable documentation, modifying processes and archives. This article explores the documentation obligations and practical implications.
REACH Regulation Article 31 imposes precise obligations for the transmission and update of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) along the supply chain. Understanding these responsibilities is crucial to avoid penalties and ensure safety.
The new Machine Regulation 2027 (EU 2023/1230) doesn't mandate digital documentation, but it fundamentally changes how machine documentation must remain accessible over time. This shift reveals a hidden value not reflected in pricing: your machine's perceived worth might be lower, not due to its technical specs, but because of how its documentation is delivered and maintained post-sale.
Effective REACH Safety Data Sheet (SDS) management is crucial for chemical companies. Non-compliance, particularly regarding timely delivery and updates, poses significant legal and operational risks. Many companies struggle to prove customer receipt of correct SDS versions due to manual processes.
Art. 10(7) of the Machinery Regulation allows digital instructions under specific conditions. Here they are, and how a QR code on the machine helps manage them.
Sharing Safety Data Sheets (SDS) securely and compliantly is crucial for businesses handling chemicals. Traditional methods are often inadequate, lacking security, traceability, and a tracked record of delivery and receipt. Regulations like REACH and CLP demand up-to-date, accessible SDS, along with proof of distrib
Under Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, digital product passports become mandatory only for product groups covered by delegated acts, applicable at least 18 months after adoption. Batteries have a separate obligation from 18 February 2027.
