Who it affects

Machinery manufacturers placing CE-marked products on the EU market across manufacturing, agriculture, construction, food processing, and packaging.

What it requires

A machine-readable data carrier (QR code or data matrix) must be affixed to the machine, linking to digital instructions. Instructions must remain accessible online for the product's full service life — at minimum 10 years after market placement. Paper copies must be supplied free of charge within one month on request.

How QRStandard helps

Print the QR once at the factory. Manage where it points as your documentation server changes over the machine's 10-year service life. Every redirect change is logged with timestamp, previous URL, new URL, and user — export as CSV for CE inspection in seconds. No reprinting required.

What you get

The infrastructure behind every compliant QR code

PrintOnce Redirect

Print once. Update forever.

The QR code is affixed to the product at the factory. The URL behind it is managed from your dashboard. Your documentation server changes — the code on the product does not.

Document Hosting

Upload your document. No server needed.

Attach a PDF manual, safety datasheet, or certificate directly to the QR code. No external hosting required — your document is stored in the EU and served instantly on scan.

Audit Trail

Every change logged for inspection.

Every destination change is recorded: timestamp, previous URL, new URL, and the user who made it. Export as CSV for regulatory inspection documentation in seconds. Immutable by design.

Bulk Generation

Thousands of codes. One CSV upload.

Upload serial numbers and destination URLs. Download a ZIP of print-ready QR codes. No per-scan fees — ever. No infrastructure to maintain on your side.
