About
The site started from questions that keep repeating
Engineers, production managers and owners of small manufacturing firms face the same issues: which documents CE requires, when an assembly of machines becomes a new machine, and how far a safety function’s performance level must go.
The answers exist in standards, but they are scattered and written in language that is slow to read. Safe Machine turns them into guides and overviews. Content follows current regulations and harmonised standards, and every page carries the date of its latest expert review.
Content with a revision date
Every page and tool shows when it last went through expert review.
Clearly stated limits
A tool always states what it assesses and what it does not. No result without context.
Links to the source
Every claim links to the regulation or standard it is based on.

How content is created and reviewed
The methodology separates legal sources, normative references, professional interpretation and indicative tools. Unverified professional qualifications or certifications are not published.
Primary sources
Legal claims are checked against EUR-Lex and other official EU sources. Harmonised references are checked against the European Commission list and EU Official Journal information.
Expert review
Before publication we check the legal regime, the edition of each standard, the scope of claims, calculation assumptions and tool limitations. The article date comes from the publishing system, not the website build date.
Update triggers
We review content after a change in legislation, publication or withdrawal of a harmonised reference, a new standard edition, a discovered factual error or a change to tool behaviour.
