Gather the documents
Describe the machine and upload manuals, drawings and reports. Verkio asks for whatever is missing.
GuideThe Machinery Regulation 2027
The AI platform forCE marking of machines
AI-assisted risk assessment and technical files. Verkio reads your manuals and drawings, suggests hazards with sources and lets you approve every row.
How Verkio worksThe assistant prepares, you decide.
From the first hazard to the reviewChecklist, actions and review package for every machine.
Technical file
The technical file checklist, item by item against the machine's own documents. The assistant assesses what's there, what's missing and what's only partly covered.
- Every assessment shows the documents it rests on
- Drafts until you've reviewed them
- A notice when the checklist gets a new version
Actions
Every gap becomes an action with an owner and a date, linked to the hazard or item it came from.
- The assistant suggests actions from the risk register
- Overdue actions stand out at once
- What's waiting for you gathers under To do
Review package
Machine profile, risk register, technical file and next steps in one package, to download as Word or save as PDF.
- Always shows where things stand now
- Drafts of the EU declaration and instructions for use
- A basis for review, never a certificate
Time saved
Verkio saves about 31 hours on every machine.
How much work Verkio takes over for a machine with this material, worked out with the same low minute figures as the app's monthly report.
31
hours saved per machine
4
working days per machine, at eight hours a day
310
hours a year with ten machines
How it's worked out
| Verkio does | Number | Minutes each | Hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Documents compared with the risk assessment | 25 | 30 | 12.5 |
| Risks in the risk register | 40 | 15 | 10 |
| Items in the technical file | 30 | 10 | 5 |
| Texts for the declaration and instructions | 6 | 10 | 1 |
| Actions in the action list | 30 | 5 | 2.5 |
An estimate for a typical machine, not a promise. Only what a person approved counts, and the app's monthly report shows the working for your own machines.
Compared with ChatGPT and Claude
Why not just ask a chatbot?
A general chatbot is good at explaining. But CE work isn't a question, it's a project that runs for weeks, with many documents and several people.
Knows the machine
ChatGPT, Claude and similar: Starts over in every conversation. You paste the material in again.
Verkio: Holds the machine's details and every uploaded document, and remembers them.
Sources
ChatGPT, Claude and similar: Answers with confidence, even when nothing supports it.
Verkio: Every suggestion has a quote and a page. Without a source it shows as an assumption.
What's done
ChatGPT, Claude and similar: Keeps no record. You keep your own list.
Verkio: Risk register, checklist and actions with status, owner and date.
Output
ChatGPT, Claude and similar: Text in a chat that you copy elsewhere.
Verkio: Documents you can review, version and export.
Approval
ChatGPT, Claude and similar: Nothing shows who checked what.
Verkio: AI writes drafts. A person approves, and Verkio records who and when.
Knowledge
ChatGPT, Claude and similar: General knowledge, often mixed with the wrong regulation or outdated versions.
Verkio: Curated knowledge on the machinery rules, written by machine safety trainers, and anonymised patterns from approved assessments elsewhere.
Regulation changes
ChatGPT, Claude and similar: You have to remember to ask.
Verkio: You get an email when something touching your machines changes.
Several people
ChatGPT, Claude and similar: One conversation per person, no shared picture.
Verkio: A shared workspace with roles, comments and review requests.
Your information
ChatGPT, Claude and similar: Depends on account settings and what was pasted in.
Verkio: Stored in Stockholm, with permissions per organisation, logs and AI calls with nothing retained.

The Machinery Regulation applies from 20 January 2027Verkio supports both the Regulation and the older Directive.
Each machine gets the rules that apply to it. For existing and modified machines, the assistant helps you work out whether a change could count as a substantial modification.

The Machinery Directive applies
Most machines in use today are CE marked under 2006/42/EC.
2023-07-19
The Regulation enters into force
(EU) 2023/1230 is adopted. Manufacturers get three and a half years to adapt.
2027-01-20
