A sample page
The first page of the Applicable essential health and safety requirements, as it arrives: PDF and DOCX, the generic placeholders in square brackets are what your workspace fills in.
Who it is for
- A manufacturer of a machine, a partly completed machine or a related product placed on the EU market from 20 January 2027.
- A machine with software or a connected control system, where the digital requirements of Annex III apply.
- A consultancy drafting the file for a client, one set per machine.
Who it is not for
- A product outside Annex I of the Regulation; the scope determination in the pack shows the boundary.
- A machine that needs a notified body under Annex I Part A: the file is the same, the conformity route is not, and the pack names it.
- A team that needs the file kept current across variants: that is the workspace's job, not a file's.
How delivery works
1. Pay
Paddle takes the payment in the overlay on this page and issues the invoice, VAT handled for your country.
2. Receive
Within minutes an email carries a link, good for seven days, to the set as PDF and DOCX.
3. Use, or claim
Edit the DOCX yourself, or create a free workspace with the same email: the purchase attaches to it and the documents are drafted again from your own product record.
In a workspace
A workspace created, or an owner signing in, with the buyer's address claims the purchase once. The same 7 documents are then drafted from the product you register, kept current as the record changes, and exported with the audit trail. The trial is 14 days, no card.

Every document names the article or annex point it satisfies; the Official Journal text is the source, read in English.

Questions
- Does this replace the Machinery Directive file?
- It is the file under the Regulation that replaces the Directive from 20 January 2027; the structure follows Annex IV of the Regulation, not Annex VII of the Directive.
- Do I need an account to buy it?
- No. Paddle takes the payment on this page and the documents arrive by email. A free workspace can claim the purchase later if you want them drafted from your own machine record.
- Does it cover the cybersecurity requirements?
- Yes: the Annex III requirements on protection against corruption and on control-system safety have their own document, with the evidence it expects.
- In which language are the documents?
- English, the language every notified body accepts for the file; the instructions for the user are a separate document in the user's language, which the pack describes but does not write.
- What does the workspace add?
- The same seven documents drafted from the machine you register, kept current as the record changes, and exported with the audit trail.
The other path
€249 a month runs the same file live: register the product, the workspace drafts every document from its record, keeps the clocks and stays current.
