The implications of harmonisation

摘要

Although almost identical to IEC 62061, BS EN 62061 is now harmonised to the Machinery Directive. Pilz explains the implications for machine builders and those modifying machinery. There is a chance that you may have recently read something about IEC 62061 in an industry magazine. However, you will probably not have seen anything about BS EN 62061:2005 (Safety of machinery, functional safety of safety-related electrical, electronic and programmable electronic control systems).
