Applicable Directives and
Standards
The most important directives and standards, valid for the use of
optoelectronic protective devices in Europe, are listed in Application and
Installation of Protective Devices. Further regulations may be of importance to
you, depending on the application. You can obtain further information of
machine-specific standards from national institutions (for example, DIN, BSI,
AFNOR), the authorities, or your trade association.
If you operate the machine or vehicle in a country outside the European Union,
contact the manufacturer of the system and the local authorities to obtain
information on the regulations and standards applicable there.
