Machine builders
CE marking without a CE department of your own.
Verkio for small and mid-sized machine builders: risk assessment, technical file and review package for every machine, with AI writing the drafts.
How Verkio helps
For machine builders
01
Start with what you have
Upload manuals, drawings and reports. Verkio asks for what's missing.
02
The risk assessment on time
Suggestions with sources from day one, instead of a risk assessment written at the last minute.
03
The next machine goes faster
Start from a machine you've already done, and learn from approved risk assessments.
04
Ready for 2027
Every machine gets the rules that apply to it, the Regulation or the Directive.
In detail
What you need to know
The risk assessment belongs to the design
The Machinery Regulation and the Machinery Directive require the manufacturer to make sure a risk assessment is carried out, and to design and build the machine on its basis. Done late, it describes a finished machine instead of guiding its design.
In Verkio the risk register starts when the first documents are uploaded. The assistant suggests hazards with sources, and the register grows with the machine.
The technical file
The technical file shows how the machine meets the essential health and safety requirements. It must be possible to hand it to an authority that asks for it, and under the Regulation it is kept for at least ten years.
Verkio's checklist goes through it item by item against the machine's documents and shows what's there, what's missing and what's only partly covered.
From the Directive to the Regulation
Machines placed on the market or put into service from 20 January 2027 must follow the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230. A machine designed now may be finished after that date.
Every machine in Verkio has the rules that apply to it, and the checklist and the assistant follow them.
Plan
Design suits most machine builders
Ten active machines and five users. If you need more machines, or your logo in the review package, there's Professional.
The parts you'll use most
Common questionsWhat people usually ask.
Can Verkio CE mark our machine?
No. The CE marking and the EU declaration are the manufacturer's responsibility. Verkio helps you prepare the basis for them and never certifies that a machine meets the requirements.
Do we need to know EN ISO 12100?
It helps, but the assistant bases its suggestions on the standard's method and shows what each one rests on. A person who knows the machine reviews and approves.
Which documents should we upload?
Whatever you have: manuals, drawings, calculations, test reports and suppliers' declarations, as PDF. Verkio asks for what's missing.
Can we start from a machine we've already done?
Yes. From Professional you create a new machine from a finished one and start with its register and technical file.
Where are our drawings stored?
The database, files and search index are in Stockholm. What's sent to the AI model isn't stored by the provider.
