In the past, safety standards across the board allowed only for hard-wired safety components.
Today new approvals such as IEC 615081 and revised standards like NFPA 792 (2002 edition) are in place to accommodate safety networks and provide new standards for protection of life and limb. These new standards have led to an upsurge of interest in safety networks not only for their improved safety functions, but also for the ROI they promise to offer when implemented with other networks throughout an industrial enterprise.
The Safety at Work system meets:
- Up to category 4 according to the EN954-1 Requirements of Safety
- Integrity Level 3 of the IEC61508
- NFPA 79-2002 approval
