Hr. Loerzer, There are a number of standards that must be addressed:
For machinery safety, CSA Z432-04 must be met. This includes requirements for control reliability and risk assessment. This standard calls out the use of NFPA 79-02 for wire colours, nameplate data, controls identification and the like. >From the perspective of electrical safety, CSA C33.2 #14 covers the construction of the control panels and must be met. This standard and NFPA 79 do not conflict, since they cover different aspects of the design. In order for your product to be sold legally or used by your customer, it must be either a) inspected and labelled by an accredited Inspection Body or b) Certified by an accredited certification laboratory. In the province of Ontario there are 5 companies that can do this for you. The exact number varies in the other provinces. For more information feel free to contact me directly. -- Doug Nix, A.Sc.T.
