20.01.2027Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 · from 20 January 2027
From 20 January 2027, machinery placed on the EU market must comply with the new Machinery Regulation. Instructions for use may be supplied digitally, but under precise conditions: access from the machine, an archive for years, a paper copy on request.
TARGA composes the right manual for the configuration of each serial number, translates it with human review, publishes it immutably and makes it reachable through a QR code on the nameplate.

The problem
How it works
Model, options, languages, markets and date of placing on the market arrive from the configurator, the ERP or a CSV file.
API · CSV · manual
TARGA assembles the blocks that apply to that configuration. Warnings, procedures and technical data are written once.
blocks + conditions
AI translation with your glossary and checks on numbers, units and signal words. Nothing is published until a person approves it.
AI + human review
The published version is immutable and has its own SHA-256 fingerprint. You print the label with the QR code that opens the page of that serial number.

Who it is for
For whoever writes the manuals and is responsible for the documentation: clear rules, no document changed behind your back.
For whoever creates serial numbers and prints labels on the shop floor: few screens, no manual to look for.
For whoever uses the machine, in the workshop and on a phone: the right instructions, in their language, in one tap.
QR on the nameplate
Every serial number has a stable address and a QR code to print on the nameplate, the packaging or an accompanying document.
The page of that serial number
Scanning the QR opens the page of that exact machine, with the manual composed for its configuration, not a generic one.
In the languages of its markets
The language follows the browser, with a manual selector. The page says whether it shows the original instructions or a translation.
Declaration and software
The digital EU declaration of conformity and the history of the installed software can be downloaded from the same page.
Paper copy on request
The buyer can request a paper copy through a form. You receive the request with its deadline and reminders.
Features
Write warnings, procedures and technical data once. Each block has its applicability conditions and the manual is composed for the configuration of the serial number.
Machine translation with your glossary and checks on numbers, units and signal words. Nothing is published until a person has approved every segment.
A published document is never edited again. Each version has a SHA-256 fingerprint and a correction creates a new version, with visible history.
Published versions stay online for the expected lifetime of the machine and in any case for at least 10 years after placing on the market.
Public form for paper copies, list sorted by the 30-day deadline, traffic light and email reminders.
A ZIP archive per serial number or per model with documents, declarations, software history, audit log and a manifest with fingerprints.
Publications, approvals and changes go into an append-only log chained with fingerprints: who did what, and when.
Serial numbers arrive from your configurator or ERP via API, or from a CSV file, with a row-by-row error report.
Your CE consultant can manage your workspace from their partner area, with their own brand on the public pages.

Frequently asked questions
No. The Regulation allows them to be supplied digitally, under certain conditions. The obligation that concerns everyone is to update declarations and documentation to the Regulation for machinery placed on the market from 20 January 2027. TARGA helps in both cases: you can also print the generated PDFs.
No. Compliance remains the manufacturer's responsibility. TARGA is a tool to write, translate, publish and keep documentation in an orderly and traceable way. It does not provide legal or CE advice: for that, talk to your consultant, including our partner firms.
Manuals can be published in all EU languages. For each serial number you set the countries it is shipped to, and TARGA warns you if a language required in one of those countries is missing. The public pages that buyers open from the QR code follow the language of their browser; the workspace interface is being translated, starting with English.
Machine translation is a starting point. The system flags numbers, units or signal words that differ from the source, uses your glossary and blocks publication until every segment has been approved by a person. Approvals stay in the audit log.
You can export everything at any time: offline browsable HTML, PDF and a manifest with fingerprints. Full export is always included in every plan.
On servers in the European Union. Machine translation uses an external provider, with the safeguards described in the privacy notice and in the data processing agreement.
