TÜV SÜD approval
23 July 2013
Fortress now has independent third party approval on its trapped key range of interlocks, for use up to SIL3/PLe.
TÜV SÜD has certified that the mGard range meets the interlocking requirements of the latest European safety standards.
Trapped key interlocking can be used to safeguard machinery or potentially dangerous areas. The mGard range has a fail-safe design, and underwent extensive FMEA (Failure Modes Effects Analysis) during its design stage, with 100+ different, rigorous safety tests.
A completely modular system, individual modules can simply be added or removed depending on application.
