Accessafe offers the Due Diligence Machinery service, a visual analysis that allows you to evaluate the compliance and safety status of industrial machinery, with particular attention to technical, legal, and operational risks.
This service is crucial during acquisitions, mergers, or sales of industrial assets, to identify any non-conformities or critical issues related to equipment.
The Due Diligence process enables:
- Verifying the regulatory compliance of machinery, avoiding potential legal problems or penalties.
- Identifying technical and operational risks, ensuring that equipment is safe and in line with European regulations, such as the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and the EU Regulation 2023/1230.
- Estimating the costs of adjustments necessary to bring machinery into legal compliance.
- Reducing risks related to workplace accidents and improving overall plant safety.
This service is particularly useful for companies purchasing or selling industrial plants, as well as for investors and industrial groups involved in mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Legal consultants and auditing firms can also use Due Diligence Machinery to verify machine compliance.
The service includes several key activities, such as:
- Technical analysis of machinery: evaluating operational status, maintenance carried out, and operating conditions.
- Verification of technical documentation: we check for the presence of relevant technical documentation, such as technical dossiers, operation, and maintenance manuals, and the CE Declaration of Conformity.
- Assessment of compliance with European directives and applicable harmonized standards.
- Identification of non-conformities: we highlight risks that need to be reduced to ensure machinery safety.
- Creation of a comprehensive report: at the end of the analysis, we provide a detailed document identifying critical issues and suggesting solutions for adjustment, offering support for strategic business decisions.
The Due Diligence of a machinery park guarantees a complete and professional evaluation of the state of industrial machinery, protecting businesses from potential technical, legal, and financial risks, and supporting safe acquisition or sales processes.
