CE-Copilot is the CE marking software for machinery by SH Engineering, covering the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, as a web application from €119 per month. This page lists what was added when: new features and guides with the date since which they are available, newest first.
What CE-Copilot implements for the Machinery Regulation, and since when, is summarised in the guide EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230.
New fire protection module in the risk assessment, covering sections 1.5.6, 3.5.2 and 5.5 of the machinery legislation and EN ISO 19353: record flammable substances, ignition sources and measures, and take fire hazards over as hazards of the type “Fire”. The module appears when the machine description gives a reason and is included from Starter; the fire protection test section is part of the test reports from Professional.
Free to download without registration, as Word and PDF, in German: EU declaration of conformity and EU declaration of incorporation under Annex V of the Machinery Regulation, and EC declaration of conformity and declaration of incorporation under Annex II of the Machinery Directive, each with notes on filling them in. Plus a checklist of the technical documentation under Annex IV of the Regulation and a sample risk assessment to EN ISO 12100.

New overview of which obligations of the Cyber Resilience Act (EU) 2024/2847 CE-Copilot covers, which it covers in part and which remain with the manufacturer, with criteria for choosing CRA software.
The website and the app interface are now also available in Italian, French, Spanish, Polish and Chinese, alongside German and English.
Assemblies you fit into several machines can be set up as a building block project. In the standards finder you load its standards, hazards with measures and safety functions into a complete machine; hazards taken over must be reviewed again there. From Starter.

The technical documentation can be exported with all uploaded attachments as a ZIP archive, with a manifest and a SHA-256 checksum per file. The complete dossier, the declaration data and, where available, the instructions are included as they stand at the time of export. From Starter.
Under the Machinery Regulation the instructions show, for each minimum item a to x of Annex III section 1.7.4.2, which chapter covers it and whether that chapter has content. For digital provision under Article 10(7) you enter the web address and the access note, download a QR code and get checks on format, paper copies on request and non-professional users. Operating instructions module from Professional, added per project.
CE-Copilot blocks a declaration under the Machinery Directive dated 20 January 2027 or later, and a declaration under the Machinery Regulation dated before that day, unless a matching date of placing on the market is recorded for the project; deviating requires a documented justification. In the project master data you fix the legal basis and select the product type under Article 2 of the Regulation, for safety components with the number from Annex II; if it falls under Annex I Part A, module A is blocked. From Starter.
Step 1 of the risk assessment walks you through Article 3(16) and Article 18 of the Machinery Regulation in a series of questions, under the Machinery Directive along the interpretation paper of the German labour ministry (BMAS): a result with reasoning and legal consequences that you can take over directly. From Starter.
New: the 3-month licence at €119, €229 or €399 per month (Starter, Professional, Business), paid in advance for three months. Since then the monthly plan costs €155, €298 or €519 and the annual plan €99, €199 or €359 per month; all prices are final prices.
The date of placing on the market or putting into service is a field in the project master data. If it is on or after 20 January 2027, the project's pages, AI suggestions and exports follow the Machinery Regulation, before that the Machinery Directive; running projects without a date do not switch over by themselves.
New project page with the essential health and safety requirements of Annex III of the Machinery Regulation or Annex I of the Machinery Directive: the status of each requirement, with a justification for “not applicable”, the linked hazards and the evidence. The list goes into the complete dossier and the technical documentation. From Starter.
Under the Machinery Regulation the declaration follows the structure of Annex V Part A, the declaration of incorporation Part B, with fields for the required information such as the place of use, the module A statement in the official wording and the publication date of the reference for each standard. Standards without a reference under the Regulation are not listed as harmonised. From Starter.
New cybersecurity project page for the Cyber Resilience Act (EU) 2024/2847: risk assessment, requirements matrix under Annex I, third-party components, support period, vulnerabilities and reports, plus a CRA report as PDF and Word. The classification in the risk assessment editor is available from Starter, the project page from Professional.
Threat analysis in the risk assessment for sections 1.1.9, 1.2.1 and 1.2.6 of the Machinery Regulation, based on route A of the draft standard prEN 50742: record interfaces, treat threat scenarios as hazards with a risk score and three-step measures, with the IEC 62443-3-3 requirements as a reference. From Starter; the requirements checklist in the test reports from Professional.
You describe in a chat what the operating instructions should contain; an AI author writes the chapters visibly, and a checker compares the sections with the risk assessment, standards and declaration of conformity and flags unsupported statements. From Professional as a one-off purchase per project.
Free self-test on the Machinery Regulation, now with 11 questions on topics such as the cut-over date, Annex I, cybersecurity and digital instructions; the evaluation names the fields of action.
Side-by-side comparison of the Machinery Directive and the Machinery Regulation with references, a quick check whether a machine falls under Annex I Part A or Part B of the Regulation, and a gap analysis checklist as PDF, in its October 2026 edition since 16 October 2026.
The functional safety module is available from the Starter plan: set the PLr for each safety function with the risk graph of EN ISO 13849-1, record the SISTEMA result and verify PL ≥ PLr.
Existing risk assessments from Safexpert come over via its Excel data export: upload, review the preview and the check report, import and confirm the entries technically. From Professional.
Listed are features and guides since July 2026. “From Starter” and “from Professional” name the smallest plan that includes the feature; you can try the Starter feature set free for 14 days. The AI provides drafts that you review and approve; responsibility for conformity stays with the manufacturer. CE-Copilot does not replace an expert review or legal advice.
Safexpert is a name or trademark of IBF Solutions GmbH. CE-Copilot is not affiliated with this company; the name is used only to describe the import.
From the directive check to the Declaration of Conformity in one application, under the Machinery Directive today and under the Machinery Regulation from 20 January 2027.
What changes on the cut-over date in concrete terms: for six machinery categories in Annex I Part A of the Machinery Regulation (including removable mechanical transmission devices with their guards, vehicle servicing lifts, cartridge-operated fixing tools and safety-related AI components), self-assessment via harmonised standards is no longer sufficient; there, the notified body becomes mandatory.
