Safety of machinery – from the idea to the certification

Our experts can support you regarding CE-conformity, risk assessments, safety of machinery and functional safety.

Industrial equipment and machinery in automation technology as well as in plant engineering require the highest precision.

As a reliable partner we are at your side, from the idea to the market launch. We advise and support you during the process of preparing and maintaining the Technical Documentation to meet the essential requirements of the Machinery Directive.

How we can help with our long-standing experience:

CE-Conformity

The CE mark indicates that a product conforms to the applicable European directives and thus meets the legal requirements. However, Declarations of Conformity in self-declaration sometimes raise questions, for which we support you with our many years of experience.

• Advise you about tasks of stake holders and their obligations
• Assess your declaration of conformity
• Determine the applicable EU directives for your product and do the corresponding standards research

Risk Assessment

• Guide you through the process of a Risk Assessment
• Evaluate your Risk assessment regarding technical and formal aspects

Safety of Machinery

• Test your machine according to the standard for “Electrical Equipment of Machines” (EN 60204-1) and / or the Machinery Directive (MD)

Functional Safety

A functional safety device is an active part which initiates the necessary action to prevent a hazardous situation or to reduce its consequences. Such systems must fulfil many requirements depending of their application and the severity of the risk to be handled.

• Advise you about the requirements
• Review your concepts
• Perform safety-tests according to EN 13849 or IEC/EN 61508
• Perform EMC-tests according to the relevant IEC/EN standards

Type testing according to IEC / EN / SIL / PL-standards
