EU ESPR · DPP deadlines begin 2027

Find the compliance gaps
in every spec sheet
you ship.

The EU Machinery Regulation applies from 20 January 2027, the same year the first DPP obligations begin. SpecMake checks each spec sheet against nine EU rule sets, then re-scores your whole catalog when a rule set changes, so a document that passed last quarter doesn't quietly go stale.

Regulations covered

Named. Specific. Per-regulation.

No generic compliance chip. Every regulation has its own requirement set: what it checks, what it cites, where it failed in your document.

In preview

Nine regulation rule sets run on every spec sheet, domain-scoped and content-scoped where the law is. DPP readiness scoring covers the battery, iron/steel & aluminium, and construction categories. Every rule set is versioned and monitored against official EU sources; see how below.

Rule-by-rule breakdown

What you actually risk

Gaps surface downstream. That is the expensive place to find them.

Compliance gaps don't announce themselves in the spec sheet. They surface downstream: in a refused listing, an audit finding, a tender disqualification. By then, the fix costs weeks, not minutes.

A distributor refuses the listing

because the Ex-rated datasheet never states a temperature class.

Re-issue cycle: 2–3 weeks.

A REACH audit asks for SVHC data

the spec sheet declared REACH compliance and said nothing about substances of very high concern.

Response window: 4–6 weeks.

A public tender disqualifies your bid

the datasheet for an electrical product never declared RoHS conformity.

Lost opportunity: irreversible.

SpecMake runs the regulation rule sets against your spec sheet at upload time. A passing check names the field it read or the value it found there; a gap names the requirement that is missing. The fix happens before the document leaves your team. Minutes, not weeks.

The mechanism

Compliance is a side effect of good data.

You can't audit what isn't structured. SpecMake extracts first, reading each property it finds with its value, unit, tolerance and test standard, then runs the regulatory checks against that clean data. The results view surfaces what passed, what failed, and which specific source page to look at.

  • Each field carries a confidence score, and a click-to-verify source anchor wherever the text can be located.
  • Unit normalization across bar/MPa/psi, L/min/GPM, °C/°F.
  • Output as JSON-LD with schema.org property mappings, ready to map into your DPP platform.

Compliance that stays current

Checked at upload. Re-checked when the rules change.

Looking for the checks themselves, requirement by requirement? Every rule set, spelled out.

A compliance result is only as good as the rule set behind it, and the rules move. GPSR replaced the old Product Safety Directive. The REACH candidate list grows every cycle. DPP delegated acts are landing category by category. SpecMake treats your catalog as a living data layer, not a stack of one-time checks.

1 · Regulations monitored

Every rule set is versioned and verified against official sources.

Each regulation we check is re-verified monthly against EUR-Lex and official EU publications. When a regulation moves, the rule set is updated, reviewed by a person, and re-versioned. No silent AI edits to compliance rules, ever.

2 · Catalog re-scored

Every product is re-checked against the updated rules.

When a rule set changes, your whole catalog is re-scored against the new version: no re-uploads, no per-document fees. Re-checks run on the structured data you already have.

3 · You see exactly what broke

An alert names the affected products, the regulation, and the missing fields.

Products whose verdict changed are flagged in your catalog compliance view, sorted worst-first, with the exact failing requirements named and exportable to CSV for your quality team.

That's the difference between a compliance check and a compliance layer: when an amendment lands, you don't re-audit 500 spec sheets by hand; you open one screen that already knows which products it touched.

Get your documentation DPP-ready.
Before the deadline matters.

Send one spec sheet through without an account and see it come back structured, with a DPP readiness score. Or apply for the Charter Customer Program for dedicated onboarding and direct input on which regulations we cover next.

No account needed for the extraction, and a DPP readiness score when your product category is in scope. The audit, confidence scores and the per-regulation drilldown come with one.
