New versions of the Machinery Directive, EN ISO 13849-1 and EN IEC 62061
Machinery Directive becomes Machinery Regulation
International standards EN ISO 13849-1 and EN IEC 62061 have already been revised and an updated version has been available since 2021 and 2022 respectively. Now the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EG is also being adapted to the state of the art. Topics such as digitisation, software and autonomous controls are comprehensively addressed in this new machine regulation. In a new white paper, energy management company Eaton provides information on the changes in machine safety standards and what they mean for manufacturers and designers.
