The Safety Compendium is aimed at all those in mechanical engineering who deal with the issue of functional safety and its associated aspects. It is intended as an orientation guide for the application of functional safety standards.

The Compendium considers the latest developments in the industry: more efficient production and automation concepts demand ever more intelligent safety solutions or may only be made possible thanks to innovative safety technology. The new Machinery Directive, which applies without restrictions from 2012, presents machine builders and users with new challenges, which need to be overcome. Mechanics continue to be replaced by electronics; there is a growing demand for flexible, dynamic concepts in safety technology.

• All you need to know about directives, standards and laws at a glance, in compact form
• Clear summary of the current industry trends
• Increase the efficiency of the operating process, including maintenance and service

The new Safety Compendium is available to download free of charge in German and English:
