Abstract

This document considers the requirements of the safe operation of an industrial automation. It analyzes the detecting and reducing procedures of dangerous situations. It also describes the European legislations which need to be followed for designing, procurement, purchase or use of the industrial equipment in the European Union, but also in several other countries outside the European Union, to have an effective safe operation.
