On safety
The national/international rules and regulations apply to the installation, commissio-
ning, use and periodic technical inspection of the Flexi Soft modular safety controller, in
particular:
– EMC directive 2004/108/EC,
– Provision and Use of Work Equipment Directive 2009/104/EC,
– the work safety regulations/safety rules.
The operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the machine
where a Flexi Soft system is used. The machine operator is to be instructed in the use of
the device by qualified safety personnel and must be instructed to read the operating
instructions.
