For more standards on this topic, please see our Document Center List of Standards on the Safety of Machinery.  Back in May, I also blogged on the new safety of machinery standards for the 1st Quarter of 2013.

Safety of Machinery is covered by the European Directive 2006/42/EC.  The use of the EN standards and EN Adoptions of the ISO standards may provide an organization with the presumption of compliance.  Check with Document Center for more information on the harmonized standards for any given European Directive.  We can help you make sure you've got the documentation you need for exporting your products.
