Safety net for the new machinery directive
On 29 December 2009 two standards aimed at achieving an acceptable risk level for machinery, EN62061 and EN ISO 13849-1, are being implemented to replace EN954-1. On 1 September Wieland Electric is launching wielandsafety.net to make that transition a simple process by providing a ‘no nonsense' guide to compliance.
Safety First is a priority for Wieland Electric, with safety technology that protects man and machine and handles process monitoring. The website offers an easy to understand guide to the new Machinery Directive and its implementation. In addition to this, the site offers links to the full Machinery Directive, FAQ's, relevant product information, catalogues and a product selection guide to ensure specification of the right product for the task.
In addition to this, wielandsafety.net has an interactive section where technical questions can be left for immediate reply, advice can be sought and literature can be requested. Wieland's wide range of safety switching devices cover all important safety functions, whilst satisfying customer's complex requirements. A list of distributors stocking Wieland safety products is also listed on wielandsafety.net.
