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.
