We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Safety Standards",
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 Torque control meets automotive safety standards from
Crane Electronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "Bentley Motors purchased five Crane mobile torque test stations, with one being located in the engine build area and four in the final assembly areas".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release System integrators see new automation strategy from
Schneider Electric: "Schneider Electric's new automation strategy will be unveiled together with working demonstrations of equipment in a product 'speed dating' format".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Clare Instruments
concerning its Clare Instruments test systems
- take a look at Testing system handles multiple products
which says: "Each power tool range includes different product models, creating different electrical compliance standards and performance test requirements".
Take a look also at the news release from Fluke (UK), Appliance testers meet updated code of practice,
as well as Emergency stop switches have safe-break action from Live Electronics,
and Safety systems boost productivity from Clare Instruments.
