From 1st January 2012, the European
Machinery Directive will no longer
reference EN 954-1 as a safety
standard.

Recognising the impact that the
change in directive will have,
Rockwell Automation has published
an updated version of its Safebook
series.

Titled ‘Safebook 4 – Principles of
Machine Safety: Legislation, Theory
and Practice’, this updated booklet
now incorporates more information
on two standards EN ISO 13849-1
and IEC/EN 62061 which can be
referenced instead of EN 954-1.

There are application examples with
performance level calculations,
guidance on the principles of
machine safety, relevant standards
and methods of safety
implementation.

Safebook 4 is just part of the total
safety offering from Rockwell
Automation.
