Home Latest News EN 954-1 soon to be withdrawn
The situation regarding EN 954-1 has become more unclear following a statement from the European Commission which confirms that EN 954-1 will be withdrawn once the New machinery Directive comes into force on December 29th. This goes against the recent decision made by both CEN (The Committee for European Normalisation) and the Machinery Directive Working Group who were both keen to keep EN 954-1 for an additional 3 years. The position may be muddied further at the next Working Group meeting in early December. Until a final decision has been made, it would appear that machine builders will need to start using EN ISO 13849 as soon as possible. Watch this space for further clarification once it is available.
