Important notes

Standards
Safety regulations are confirmed by laws and other governmental guidelines and measures
and the prevailing opinion among experts, e.g. by technical regulations.
The regulations and rules to be applied must be observed in accordance with the application.
Risk assessment
This documentation can only accentuate the need for a risk assessment. The user of the inte-
grated safety system must read up on standards and the legal situation.
Before a machine can be put into circulation, the manufacturer of the machine has to conduct
a risk assessment according to the 2006/42/EC: Machinery Directive to determine the hazards
associated with the use of the machine.
The Machinery Directive refers to three basic principles for the highest possible level of safety:
Hazard elimination / minimisation by the construction itself.
•
Taking the protective measures required against hazards that cannot be removed.
•
Existing residual hazards must be documented and the user must be informed of them.
•
Detailed information on the risk assessment is provided in the DIN EN ISO 12100:2013−08:
Safety of machinery − general principles for design − risk assessment and risk reduction . The
result of the risk assessment determines the category for safety-related control systems
according to EN ISO 13849−1. Safety-oriented parts of the machine control must be compliant.
