Company

Schmersal Group can test safety products of the Machinery Directive themselves

Since February 2010, we are authorised to test functional safety products in accordance with Appendix X to the new Machinery Directive by ourselves. The requirements that this Appendix X places on the quality management system go far beyond the DIN EN ISO 9000ff. To our customers and to you, this means that we meet the highest quality standards - and we voluntarily accept external audits to ensure that the system is properly used. For series products however, we will continue to commission a notified body to subject our own results to an external verification.  more

In this way, the assessment of the safety-related parts of control systems to EN ISO 13849-1 is facilitated to the machine builder.  more
