The Impact of Global and Local Standards on OEMs & Suppliers, published by PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies in April 2023, examines how regulatory and normative standards affect machinery design, market access, and product liability across jurisdictions. Drawing on standards updates, guidance, and PMMI’s analysis through 2023, it focuses on risk assessment and validation; machine- and environment-specific requirements such as hygienic design and hazardous-location rules; and compliance and legacy-equipment management. The analysis indicates suppliers tend to prioritize early-stage risk assessment and documented validation, while charts highlight regional benchmarks, including CE marking, ATEX/IECEx, and ANSI/PMMI B155.1. The report reveals where engineering teams are prioritizing investments to strengthen operational resilience.
