European Commission allows more time to meet new safety standards
歐洲委員會(huì)給制造商更多時(shí)間符合新安全標(biāo)準(zhǔn)
The European Commission recently extended the deadline for transition from EN 954-1 until Dec. 31, 2011. This extension provides an additional 24 months for machine builders to meet the new standards, EN ISO 13849-1 and EN/IEC 62061.
最近,歐洲委員會(huì)延長(zhǎng)從EN 954-1標(biāo)準(zhǔn)過渡的期限至2011年12月31日。這一決定為機(jī)器制造商提供多了24個(gè)月以符合新的EN ISO 13849-1和 EN/IEC 62061標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
EN 954-1, formerly the main standard for the design of safety-related control systems in the "machinery safety" sector, traditionally has been followed for presumption of conformity to European Machinery Directive 98/37/EC. Newer standards EN ISO 13849-1 or EN/IEC 62061 – which provide for use of more advanced safety-control systems technologies – are in place, applicable now, and will fully replace EN 954-1 on Dec. 31, 2011. At that time, the new control system standards will become the only ones accepted under the new European Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. This widely anticipated change was first published in 2006. This two-year period should be viewed as a transition period to fully comply with the new standards rather than as an extension of the old standard.
原為“機(jī)械安全”領(lǐng)域安全相關(guān)控制系統(tǒng)設(shè)計(jì)主要標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的EN 954-1,傳統(tǒng)上作為符合歐洲機(jī)械指令98/37/EC的認(rèn)定而被遵循。新的EN ISO 13849-1或者 EN/IEC 62061標(biāo)準(zhǔn),為更先進(jìn)的安全控制系統(tǒng)技術(shù)提供應(yīng)用,現(xiàn)已頒布、可用,并在2011年12月31日全部替換原先的EN 954-1標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。到其時(shí),新控制系統(tǒng)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)將成為新版歐洲機(jī)械指令2006/42/EC接受的唯一標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。這一被人普遍預(yù)期到的改變是在2006年被首次提出。這兩年時(shí)段該被看作是完全符合新標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的一個(gè)過渡期,而不是作為舊標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的一個(gè)延長(zhǎng)。
Rockwell Automation is encouraging machine builders to comply with EN ISO 13849-1 as soon as possible.
羅克韋爾自動(dòng)化鼓勵(lì)機(jī)器制造商盡快遵從EN ISO 13849-1標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
"Early adopters not only will move ahead of the competition, but also help better protect workers and machinery,” said Dan Hornbeck, safety market development manager, Rockwell Automation. “These new standards provide functional safety guidance that helps improve safety, efficiency and sustainability – while reducing development and operational costs.”
羅克韋爾自動(dòng)化安全市場(chǎng)拓展經(jīng)理Dan Hornbeck表示:“先期的采用者不僅將在競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中領(lǐng)先,而且有利于更好地保護(hù)工人和機(jī)器。這些新標(biāo)準(zhǔn)提供不同功能的安全指導(dǎo),幫助提高安全性、效率和可持續(xù)性,同時(shí)降低開發(fā)和運(yùn)營(yíng)成本?!?/P>
Many global manufacturers already specify compliance with the new standards, and Rockwell Automation is helping customers meet them with technologies, products and the necessary functional safety data. Functional safety data is available in multiple forms, including a data library for use with the SISTEMA calculation tool from the BGIA (Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the German Social Accident Insurance), and a PDF file providing data for manual calculation.
許多全球性的制造商已經(jīng)闡述要遵從新標(biāo)準(zhǔn),而羅克韋爾自動(dòng)化正在通過技術(shù)、產(chǎn)品以及必要的功能安全數(shù)據(jù),幫助客戶滿足新標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。功能安全數(shù)據(jù)可以從多種方式得到,包括一個(gè)與來自BGIA(德國(guó)社會(huì)意外保險(xiǎn)職業(yè)安全及健康研究所)SISTEMA計(jì)算工具使用的數(shù)據(jù)資料庫,以及一個(gè)提供手工計(jì)算數(shù)據(jù)的PDF文件。
As the global leader in safety solutions for manufacturing, Rockwell Automation provides integrated, programmable or component-based safety solutions based on the requirements and complexity of the application.
