Implement the digital operating manual with ECHO PRM in an uncomplicated way now!
That's the point:
The EU Commission announced in a press release on 15.12.2022 that a political agreement had been reached between the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union on a new EU Machinery Regulation.
This is to replace the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC after more than 15 years. For technical documentation, a long-awaited change is becoming reality: the digital instruction handbook.
Until now, each machine had to be accompanied by an original instruction manual in printed form. Providing the manual in paper form has long been outdated.
The new EU Machinery Regulation now stipulates that operating instructions can be supplied to customers in a digital format in future.
Too much money for too much paper
An example: One page of printed paper costs about 0.06€. Let’s assume you produce 2000 machines a year. Each manual contains 300 pages. This results in 600,000 sheets of paper just for printing the instructions.
600.000 x 0,06 € = 36.000 €
Annual expenses
The future takes shape
In April 2023, the new EU Machinery Regulation was adopted by the European Parliament. For companies, this will open the doors for digital operating manuals. The contents of the regulation now only need to be formally accepted by the EU Council. It is expected to be ready in June / July.
