New safebook

Rockwell Automation has published
an updated version of its Safebook
series titled ‘Safebook 4 – Principles of
Machine Safety: Legislation, Theory
and Practice’ in preparation for
machinery safety standards changes.

The updated booklet incorporates
more information on two standards,
EN ISO 13849-1 and IEC/EN 62061,
instead of EN 954-1 which will no
longer be referenced from January
1st 2012.

Safebook 4 is just part of Rockwell’s
safety offering. Recognising the impact
that the change in the directive will
have, Rockwell is also investing in a
strategy aimed at assisting companies
to address the new legislation and to
make it work for them and not
against them.
