CE marking is currently at the top of the list for many of our member companies, as the new EU Machinery Regulation is just around the corner.
That’s why we visited EMC Test NRW GmbH in Dortmund on May 7, 2026 to take an in-depth look at the current requirements for CE marking.

This afternoon, the focus was on the upcoming changes brought about by the new EU Machinery Regulation, which will gradually come into force and will be mandatory from January 20, 2027. It replaces the previous Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.

We are delighted to welcome Dolezych GmbH & Co. KG as a new member of Netzwerk Industrie RuhrOst e.V.! The specialist for safe lifting and transportation is now strengthening NIRO.

NIRO has gained a new member: CARL BECHEM GMBH from Hagen enriches the circle of our members as a manufacturer of high-quality specialty lubricants. NIRO extends a warm welcome.

We have received further reinforcements for our network: Stanzwerk Wetter Sichelschmidt GmbH & Co. KG, known for innovative functional fittings under the name stawett, is one of our new members.
With the sister company limoss GmbH & Co. KG, we now have two new strong players from Wetter in NIRO.

Our network has been strengthened by a company that has been innovating in the field of drive solutions for some time now: limoss GmbH & Co KG in Wetter.

This time, we met to discuss selected topics that play an important role in technical documentation: It was generally about editorial systems, the legal conformity of documents and a good practice example from the field of translation management.

For the third meeting, we deliberately expanded our group: In addition to the members of the working group, we also invited managers from companies who are involved in the project support committee for Christian Koch’s UniDoku research project.
