For Certain - NovoSafetyWhat is functional safety? The Machinery Directive 2006/42/EG of the European Parliament ensures a number of statutory regulations, including functional safety, for devices and systems. The aim is to minimize the risk of endangering people, the environment and capital goods through systematic error avoidance, error detection and, in particular, error control. All devices and systems that in case of a fault can lead to death or injury of humans, catastrophic environmental damage or destruction of production systems are classified as "safety-relevant". The relevant safety standards must be applied accordingly during design, development, manufacture and operation.
