We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Safety Certification",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Indicator refresh rate boosted from
Beka associates, which we summarised at the time by saying "The BA326C provides operators with a quick, easy to read indication of magnitude and trend, plus an accurate numerical value in engineering units".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Conformity provides competitive advantage from
Sira: "Sira's Functional Safety Manager, Paul Reeve, looks at the benefits of using the CASS Scheme methodology as a way to demonstrate conformity with IEC61508 and gain a competitive advantage".
In January 2007, we covered the news from Hawke International UK
- take a look at Website follows best practices
which says: "Hawke International has re-engineered its website - passing every page with the W3C XHTML 1.0 Strict validation tool".
Take a look also at the news release from Fluke (UK), Oscilloscopes troubleshoot variable-speed drives,
as well as Machine safety conference planned for end of 2005 from Pilz Automation Technology,
and Field mounting instruments are cleared for dust from Beka associates.
