Design Risk Assessment, Factory Acceptance Test and Site Acceptance Test
Key phases of the design, manufacture and supply of plant and machinery are based on different legal and normative requirements. For this reason, it is important that all legal requirements are met at these points, before the plant/machinery is transferred to the next phase.
The legal provisions vary from country to country, or even from region to region.. Whether you’re a machine manufacturer or operator, Pilz can help you implement laws, directives and standards worldwide.
Pilz ensures that your machines meet the respective legal requirements in all key phases.
Your requirements
You must comply with various legal requirements
As a machine operator, you import machines from all over the world and so are confronted with complex health and safety requirements when you install machines in your plant.
As a machine manufacturer, you want to supply to regions that have different legal requirements and so need to consider the conformity requirements in all phases of engineering, even before your machine is designed.
Want to be sure that you meet the legal requirements of a specific country/region?
Want to import or export plant or machinery and need a service partner to help you interpret the applicable directives and standards? Pilz would be happy to support you during the whole DRA-FAT-SAT process.
