Rockwell Automation is helping packaging machine builders comply with the ANSI/PMMI B155.1 standard, which will apply to all packaging and related converting machinery shipped after Oct. 25, 2008 (the end of the compliance window defined by the B155.1 committee). The requirements for packaging machinery and packaging related converting machinery introduced in 2006 include a risk-assessment standard (ANSI/PMMI B155.1-2006) to help machine builders identify safeguarding requirements and define the required control circuit architecture and safety performance level. The standard is not a regulation, however compliance with it can help packaging machine builders take proactive steps to reduce risks to an acceptable level over the life cycle of the packaging machinery as well as document the risk assessment process. In addition to risk assessments, Rockwell Automation also provides the following Safety Services: Arc Flash Services, CE Mark Conformity Services, Safety System Validation Services, Safety Circuit Analysis, Safety Systems Design and Integration Services, and Hazard Assessment, among many others.
