Safety of machinery
Safe machinery means that potential mechanical risks are kept under control. The EU Machinery Directive sets out the basic health and safety requirements for all machinery, whether used in industry or privately. SP's work in this sphere includes risk analyses, tests of safety features, function testing etc. Machinery manufacturers, machinery users and companies selling machinery throughout the EU are affected by the Machinery Directive. We can perform risk analyses, tests, design verification calculations and investigations of accidents or damage that have occurred. Failure mechanics, fatigue and finite element calculations are also among our speciality working areas.
Control of machinery is one of the working areas in which SP possesses special knowledge and experience. It is essential that functional safety, system behaviour at fault and the safety principles incorporated in the design of all types of control systems should be evaluated. The use of software-based programmable electronic systems is increasing. SP can test such systems for compliance with the requirements of EN 954-1, ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061.
