Nick, I have worked with the SEMI safety guidelines development committee for many years, and also with CE-Marking compliance...
Generally speaking, there is no correlation between SEMI standards and EN Standards. That is to say, typically end users request line-by-line assessment of products to SEMI safety guidelines of thier choice. Typically this is SEMI S2 is requested which, in turn references several other SEMI safety guidelines as normative references (Such as SEMI S8-ergonomics, SEMI S1-hazard warning labels, SEMI S13-user documentation). No SEMI Safety guideline contains a statement such as "demonstration of conformance to EN XXXXXX may be taken as conformance to this guideline" and, of course, no EN standard has equivalent line items to the SEMI safety guidelines. Although SEMI safety guidelines may be coorelated to EN standards that address similar topics or range of topics, the assessment challange is in the details and the details are often quite different.

They are hoping that they can find a way of correlating the EN standards which they have already applied for CE marking purposes to the SEMI standards which their customer is demanding. If anyone has experience or relevant documentation for this type of project, please would they get in touch. I would expect to pay an appropriate amount for suitable materials.
