04 SAFETY ENGINEERING – FROM CONCEPT TO IMPLEMENTATION
Safety Engineering is the next logical step in the CE process, where previously developed safety concepts are translated into concrete measures. In this phase, appropriate protective measures are selected and safety-related software solutions are developed to meet the defined requirements.
With Wieland, you benefit from practical support – from selecting the right components to software development, for example with samos® PLAN 6. This ensures that your safety solutions are implemented efficiently and in compliance with applicable standards.

YOUR ORIENTATION
IN THE CE PROCESS
You are currently at Step 04: Safety Engineering.
Building on the safety concept, this step focuses on selecting and implementing protective measures. It lays the foundation for the practical realization of safety requirements and ensures that your machine complies with both legal regulations and functional safety standards.
To keep an overview of the entire CE process, you’ll find the summary here:
01 Research
Identify all applicable standards, directives, and legal requirements for your machine type – the foundation for a legally secure and smooth CE process.
02 Risk Assessment
Evaluate all potential hazards throughout the machine’s lifecycle according to EN ISO 12100 and lay the groundwork for a sound safety concept.
04 Safety Engineering
Bring your safety concept to life with well-designed technology and develop standards-compliant safety software – for a safe and productive machine.
03 Safety Concept
Derive specific protective measures based on the risk assessment – compliant with EN ISO 13849-1 and tailored to your operational needs.
05 Verification
Verify the implementation of protective measures in line with EN ISO 13849-1 – especially with regard to the required performance level.
07 Documentation
Ensure that all records – from risk assessment to validation – are complete, consistent, and CE-compliant.
09 Inspection
Conduct regular inspections to ensure the functionality of your safety measures throughout the machine’s entire lifecycle.
06 Validation
Test directly on the machine whether all technical safety measures function reliably and meet the specified requirements.
08 Evaluation & Final Report
Compile and confirm all relevant evidence in a final report – forming the basis for the Declaration of Conformity.
