Authorised Representative
Non-EU machinery manufacturers need an EU-based representative to place machinery on the European market.
What we do:
Non-EU machinery manufacturers need an EU-based representative to place machinery on the European market. Based in Ireland, Alpha provides a complete Authorised Representative service under the Machinery Directive and Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, giving manufacturers a clear and compliant route to market.
Unlike firms that only hold documentation, we combine regulatory representation with machinery safety engineering expertise. We help ensure risk assessments, validation activities, and technical documentation are complete and robust before machinery is placed on the market.
As your Authorised Representative, we retain the required documentation, provide an EU contact address, liaise with market surveillance authorities, and, where mandated, can affix the CE marking and sign the Declaration of Conformity on your behalf. The result is a single partner who understands both the technical and regulatory requirements of machinery compliance in Europe
Summary
Machine safety
Machine safety means spotting risks before they cause harm, to your people or to your budgets and production not just checking compliance boxes. Your safety team reviews equipment changes early, updating or creating safeguards as needed. This proactive step happens before problems arise, so your project finishes safely and on track.

Machine Safety Services
Risk Assessment Report
Following EN ISO 12100, we take your machine from limit definition through hazard identification to effective risk reduction, bringing risk down to an acceptable level in line with the state of the art.
Technical Documentation
A structured, audit-ready dossier developed throughout the project lifecycle, capturing all required compliance documentation and engineering evidence. Finalised at completion to support the client’s Declaration of Conformity.
Safety – Front End Engineering Design Study
A front-end engineering design process that translates identified risks into practical, costed solutions. Each hazard is paired with a defined concept, implementation roadmap, and budget estimate to support informed decision-making.
Safety Design & Implementation
Detailed safety engineering covering functional safety specification, electrical and hardware design, safety PLC programming, and system integration to deliver compliant, robust, and maintainable safety solutions.
Safety Verification & Validation
A rigorous testing and evaluation process confirming that all safety measures have been correctly implemented and perform as intended, in line with standards such as EN ISO 13849 and EN 60204-1.
CE Marking
Get ahead of the new Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230. We provide end-to-end compliance support, from conformity assessment and technical documentation to final CE marking preparation, ensuring a smooth path to your Declaration of Conformity under both current and future rules
Sitewide Machinery Risk Prioritisation
For sites with dozens or hundreds of machines, the challenge is rarely identifying a single issue. It is knowing where to start.
