John Allen's approach and advice is reasonable. Some our more experienced denizens such as Rich Nute and Pete Perkins and have written some articles on safety engineering principles for the PSES newsletter. Ted Eckert did a session on compliance and regulatory sources at a recent ISPCE. Cannot

Adam I’m not sure that reading and trying to understand the standards themselves in detail is the best first step in understanding the design issues because most standards are written mainly for test and certification organisations, rather than design engineers – and the latter often have a

Hi Adam: Since you are a member of IEEE, you can access all the “Product Safety Newsletters” and “Product Safety Engineering Newsletters” on the PSES web site. Most of these are chock-full of good safety engineering stuff. Also, consider attending the three-day ISPCE Symposium

Advice from one with mostly US experience, but with an NRTL/NB: Until otherwise prohibited by MD, best practices are: - use of company issued documentation to properly describe the products covered by a DoC. Types, application and ratings need to be crystal clear in the documentation. Use
