normakte / Declaration of conformity

Create an EU declaration of conformity

One declaration for two regulations. If your product falls under several acts requiring an EU declaration of conformity, a single declaration is issued. The Machinery Regulation applies to machinery from 20 Januaryy 2027; if the machine is also a product with digital elements, the Cyber Resilience Act applies on top — with its main obligations from 11 December 2027.

Why only one declaration

Both regulations say the same thing, almost word for word: if the product is covered by several Union acts requiring an EU declaration of conformity, a single declaration is issued for all those acts, with the particulars of the acts concerned, including the references of their publication.

The manufacturer of a machine that is also a product with digital elements must meet the requirements of both regulations. The Cyber Resilience Act does not replace the Machinery Regulation, it is added to it.

Function and intended use

Only for the Cyber Resilience Act

End of the support period — at least month and year

Not part of Annex V, but to be stated clearly at purchase (Art. 13(19)) and named in the user information (Annex II No 7). The support period is as a rule at least five years – shorter only if the expected period of use is shorter; longer in machinery and plant construction.

Standards and specifications applied

For the Machinery Regulation — one per line: number, edition year, OJ reference

For the Cyber Resilience Act — harmonised standards, common specifications or certification scheme

Annex V Part A No 7 of the Machinery Regulation requires the references, including the date of publication in the Official Journal. Where a standard was only partly applied, state which parts.

If something changes, you'll know

For the harmonised standards of the Cyber Resilience Act no reference has yet been published in the Official Journal, the Commission has published guidance on applying the CRA; further clarification on the interplay with the Machinery Regulation may follow. Both change what belongs in your declaration.

Sources. The mandatory particulars come from Annex V Part A of Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 and Annex V of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847. Only the text published in the Official Journal is authentic: OJ L 165, 29.6.2023 and OJ L, 2024/2847, 20.11.2024.

The mandatory particulars are checked against the versions published in the Official Journal (OJ L 165, 29.6.2023 and OJ L, 2024/2847, 20.11.2024). The draft must nonetheless be checked before signing against the regulation text and the applicable acts.
