Industrial Standards

Developers, manufacturers and users of machines must adhere to standards and guidelines. As a rule, this is the only way in which they can guarantee the safe condition and safe use of their components and systems.

 

Dealing with these standards is not easy, however since the standards have been devised for different areas of application. It is not uncommon for contradictions to arise making it difficult for users to find their way.

 

 In each case, both manufacturer and user have to supply a certificate of conformity confirming the adherence to the relevant standards.

 

Below are some examples of standards frequently used in safety technology:

 

IEC 61508

Functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems
