Regulations for the Manufacturing Sector

The manufacturing sector is affected by numerous EU regulations. Particularly relevant are cybersecurity (NIS2), supply chain due diligence obligations, and increasingly AI regulation.

Why Is Manufacturing Especially Affected?

  • Critical infrastructure: Many manufacturing companies fall under NIS2 as essential or important entities
  • Global supply chains: The German Supply Chain Act (LkSG) and the CSDDD require due diligence along the entire value chain
  • Digitalisation: Industry 4.0 and IoT increase cybersecurity requirements
  • AI adoption: Quality control, predictive maintenance, and robotics are subject to the AI Act
