Hi Frank, If you’re reading S2/S8 I’m guessing you’re in the semiconductor manufacturing equipment SME industry like I am. Welcome. You might want to see if our employeer will send you to the SEMI Standards face to face meetings at their Milpitas HQ April 1-5. You’ll meet a lot of SME EHS peers there and have an opportunity to see S2 and S8 ‘from the inside’ (perhaps not always the best point of view).
The number of EU regulations relevant to SME can vary greatly depending on technologies embedded in the equipment. Look out for pressure vessels, intentional transmitters (RF tag readers, Bluetooth mice and keyboards), processes that might occur in intentional explosive atmospheres. Definitely also read through the EU Commission’s guide to the machinery directive and the ‘blue guide’ for CE marking. These things are ever-moving targets. I’ve been working in EU product compliance (and others) since ’95, and I’m still catching up. That’s probably why it’s become a career rather than a task.

Also review requirements in the Low Voltage Directive whether machinery or not. -Dave From: Frank Tang [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2019 2:15 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [PSES] Intro to Safety Hi Compliance Peers, I'm fairly new to compliance, with 4-5 years EMC experience on ITE products for Americas, Europe, Asia, and some Nebs understanding. Recently began a new opportunity, which encompasses EMC and Product Safety for automation. Only begun reading SEMI S2/S8, and IEC 61010-1. My questions are: 1. Additional standards I should learn? 2. Besides EMC and Safety testing testing what other documents is needed for safety, ie. critical component list? 3. How long does the whole process take? Any help would be great. -Frank - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
