Explanations, standards, and terminology

Safety Integrated
The "Safety Integrated" functions enable the implementation of highly effective application-
oriented functions for man and machine protection. This innovate safety technology offers
the following benefits:
● Increased safety
● More economic operation
● Greater flexibility
● Higher level of plant availability
Standards and Directives
Various standards and guidelines for safety technology must be observed. Guidelines are
binding for both the manufacturer and operator of machines.
Standards generally reflect the state of the art and act as a basis for implementing safety
concepts. Unlike directives, however, they are not binding.
Below is a list of standards and guidelines for safety technology.
● EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
● EN ISO 12100
● EN 60204-1:2006
