What Is Annex V and Why Do You Need Dedicated Software?
Annex V of Italian Legislative Decree 81/08 sets the minimum safety requirements that all machinery put into service before 21 September 1996 (the date the first Machinery Directive was transposed in Italy) must meet.
If you manage "legacy" machinery without CE Marking, you have a legal obligation to verify it's safe through a detailed checklist. Doing this on paper means losing data and photos and having no overview of non-conformities.
