Software updates, security patches, and digital retrofits have become a routine part of modern machinery operations. But when does a modification require a machine to be reassessed? And how do the requirements differ between the EU Machinery Regulation (MRE) and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)?
This webinar provides a practical overview of the regulatory requirements and their implications for manufacturers, system integrators, and operators. You will learn how digital modifications are evaluated under both regulatory frameworks, when conformity assessments may be affected, and which aspects should be considered to avoid compliance risks.

Safely through the Machinery Regulation and the Cyber Resilience Act:
This webinar series guides you through the most important regulatory and technical requirements of the coming years. It kicks off with events centered on the Machinery Regulation (MVO), which will be mandatory as of January 2027, as well as the requirements for the functional safety of machines and systems. We then delve deeper into topics of industrial cybersecurity and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), which are closely linked to the new requirements for modern machines and systems.
Our experts show how to put regulatory requirements into practice, integrate safety and cybersecurity requirements early in the development process, and prepare your machines for future challenges. From risk assessments and safety functions to secure software and communications concepts through to normative and legal requirements, you will receive solid expertise and concrete, actionable recommendations.
Benefit from valuable insights into current developments, proven implementation concepts, and practical examples for safe, legally compliant, and future-ready machine development.
