 IVSS/ISSA/AISS
 

  • aims to prepare safety on machines and plants in a comprehensible and user-appropriate manner and to promote qualified discussion between interested persons.
  • is addressed above all to manufacturers, designers and enterprises as well as to consultants for questions concerning safety of machines and plants.

  • Current activities:
    • Discussion of current questions concerning control engineering (for example EN 13849-1)
    • Discussion of current questions concerning the new Machinery Directive (2006/42/EG)
    • Participation in the project group "stop tampering with safeguards on machines"

  • New publication: Safety Flyers
    The present safety flyers are addressed to enterprises (users, installers of presses, supervisors) as well as to safety experts and controllers.
    The safety flyers have been written as short information in order to clarify the requirements fixed in the Directives but also to present new technologies (servo or hybrid presses). We would like to draw attention to the requirements to technical safety and to control points for the user and installer of presses before and during the production.
    We thank all participating institutions within the ISSA-Section Machine and System Safety, in particular the members of the project group "control devices, for a very cooperative co-operation.
