The target: Monitoring devices conforming to the standards

The standards and regulations for machine safety form an important basis for the selection of safety switchgear. We are happy to provide you with assistance in this respect. We work in close co-operation with the standardisation authorities and can actively support you in the task of designing monitoring devices to particular national and international standards in each case.

Initial information on this complex subject is to be found here on our homepage. The new edition of our book “Safety on machines and engineering plants” contains appreciably more information on the harmonised safety standards in the EU. And for concrete questions, our specialist engineers for safety technology are at your disposal.
