EN 60204-1 Safety standard

In today's fast-paced manufacturing environment, the safety of your team and the reliability of your machinery are non-negotiable. At the heart of this safety for industrial electrical equipment lies a crucial standard: EN 60204-1.
This standard provides comprehensive guidance on the electrical equipment of machines, ensuring their safety from design to operation. But compliance isn't just about following a checklist—it's about a commitment to proven safety through rigorous testing.
Conforming to EN 60204 requires thorough electrical safety testing during design and manufacturing to verify that all protective measures are functioning as intended. This includes essential checks such as:
- Protective Bonding Continuity: Confirming the integrity of the earth path to prevent electric shock.
- Insulation Resistance: Ensuring that insulation is sufficient to prevent short circuits and ground faults.
- Dielectric Strength Testing: Proving the electrical insulation can withstand high voltage without breakdown.
These tests are not a formality; they are the definitive proof that your machinery is safe for operation and protects personnel from electrical hazards. They give you and your clients the confidence that your equipment meets the highest standards of safety.
