Why not miss it?

The publication of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 on horizontal cybersecurity requirements and Regulation (EU) 2024/1698 on Regulation (EU) 2024/1698 on artificial intelligence redefines the requirements applicable to manufacturers and product managers in the European market.

Both texts, already in force and with progressive implementation schedules until 2026 and 2027, have a direct impact on technical documentation, risk analysis and instructions for use linked to machinery regulations.

This training will allow you to anticipate new regulatory requirements, understand their interaction with CE marking legislation and adapt your documentation processes before the requirement becomes fully mandatory.
