You are on the safe side with Brühl
CE marking for protective fencing is mandatory
Certified safety in machine-based environments is made clearly visible by the CE marking. However, it is not only machines themselves that must meet the requirements of the new Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230. Manufacturers of protective fence systems are also obliged to comply with the essential health and safety requirements set out therein.
Brühl protective fence systems fully CE-compliant
All protective fence systems placed on the market by Brühl are CE-marked as a whole and largely meet the requirements of the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230. Insofar as protective fence systems are classified as safety components within the meaning of the regulation, they are subject to a conformity assessment and are CE-marked accordingly.
The protective fence systems are manufactured in accordance with a certified quality management system in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2015. Their robustness, high quality workmanship and the use of modern manufacturing technologies guarantee a permanently reliable protective function in industrial use.
When supplying complete protective fence systems, Brühl provides all the necessary documentation, including the declaration of conformity, and ensures that the documentation complies with standards. Relevant harmonized standards – such as EN ISO 14120 (Safety of machinery – General requirements for the design and construction of guards) – are fully taken into account in the design and manufacturing process.
Protective fence systems from Brühl support machine and system manufacturers in the legally compliant implementation of safety requirements in accordance with European product regulations.

Brühl Safety – Your partner for CE-compliant protective fence systems and future-proof machine safety
From January 20, 2027 the new Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 (MVO) comes into force and replaces the previous Machinery Directive. For companies in the Mechanical and plant engineering This means acting in good time to meet the new requirements for machine protection and safety components and safety components.
Our claim: Standard compliance, quality and future-proofing – so that your machine systems comply with current and future legal requirements at all times.
This changes with the new Machinery Ordinance
A key aspect of the new Machinery Ordinance is the classification of protective fence systems as CE-mandatory safety components. This applies if:
- the protective fence assumes a safety function,
- it is placed on the market separately,
- its failure or manipulation can cause danger to persons,
- it is not essential for the machine function or can be replaced by standard components.
As a result, protective fence systems are coming more into focus – and the demands on manufacturers and operators are increasing.
