Operating instructions are undergoing a fundamental transformation. With the introduction of the new European Machinery Regulation (MVO), more and more digitalization as well as connected production environments, technical documentation is becoming increasingly important and is subject to stricter monitoring by customers.
To help manufacturers prepare for these changes, Lebbing offers a practical workshop: It demonstrates how to develop operating instructions that are legally compliant, user-friendly, and ready for the digital future.
Understanding the new requirements
The workshop provides participants with a comprehensive overview of the new Machinery Regulation and its impact on technical documentation. Expert Melanie Westhoff explains the legal requirements and presents practical approaches for implementing them efficiently within existing documentation processes.
Modern operating instructions are expected to offer much more than static PDF documents. In this workshop, you will learn how digital documentation can be structured by way of interactive elements, QR codes, and multimedia content that improve usability across different devices, including touch-panel interfaces.
Clear documentation of safety
A particular focus is placed on the standard-compliant, clear, and legally robust description of safety functions and the preparation of safety instructions. Find out how to document mechanical, electrical, and digital interfaces in a complete and easy-to-understand way, thereby reducing risks during operation and maintenance.
The workshop combines expert knowledge with hands-on experience. Best-practice examples, templates, checklists, and proven text modules will let you improve your own documentation processes immediately after the workshop.
Who should attend?
The workshop is designed for professionals involved in machine documentation and compliance, including:
- Technical writers and documentation specialists
- Design and development engineers
- HSE and machine safety managers
- Product managers
- Professionals responsible for CE conformity and Machinery Regulation compliance
