The objective is to prevent physical damage of any type. Using safety-oriented pneumatic and electrical components from Festo provides you with the security of implementing safety measures that are compliant with the EC Machinery Directive. This reliably prevents collisions The safety objectives are Safety-oriented solutions from In addition to this, if faults occur, or uncontrolled restarts after an achieved using various safety Festo provide you with proposals they must not lead to failure of emergency stop, for example.

The complexity of safety concepts. engineering is in the variety of state combinations and Due to their flexible application, transitional states. drive systems need to be included in the risk analysis and assessment for each machine, depending on the application. 5 Technical safety conditions There are legal requirements globally to ensure that machinery can be built and operated safely. Almost all laws require a risk assessment which reveals risks and results in risk minimising measures. Laws, e.g. EU Machinery Directive Objective: safe machines 2006/42/EC Risk assessment Objective: standardised process + "check list" Risk analysis Risk assessment Risk reduction Design measures Technical measures User information Safety function Objective: risk reduction Input Logic Output EN ISO 13849-1 IEC 61508/61511/62061 Objective: evaluation and assessment of technical safety measures Festo solutions Festo Evaluation: Objective: evaluation whether risk reduction is sufficient Festo Didactic: Training and Consulting Training Didactic: Festo PL ≥ PLr SIL ≥ SILr 6 Basic safety requirements in the manufacturing industry At the same time as the development of the single European market, the directives for machine construction in the manufacturing industry were harmonised. Free movement of goods within Europe Article 95 of the EU Treaty Article 137 of the EU Treaty (free movement of goods) (safety and health at work) "Safety and Health" Framework Directive e.g. machines 89/391/EEC EC Machinery "Use of work equipment" Low Voltage Directive Directive single directive 2006/95/EC 2006/42/EC 86/655/EEC Harmonised European standards National legal provisions Responsibility Manufacturers Operators Directives are comparable with the Machinery Directive. manufacturers. laws. Among others, the EC Harmonised standards provide Machinery Directive is applicable support for compliance with the for machine construction. The EC Machinery Directive. These primary aim of the EC Machinery are listed in the Official Journal of Directive is to specify basic the European Communities. health and safety requirements Applying these results is what is in relation to the design and known as the "presumption of construction of machines. The CE conformity", which reinforces the mark indicates compliance with legal security of operators and 7 Basic standards for designing control functions Harmonised standards that relate to machine safety help to reduce safety risks to an acceptable minimum, as per the EC Machinery Directive.

All manufacturers are obligated to perform a risk assessment. This is followed by a risk evaluation and appropriate risk reduction measures must be implemented as required.
