Push Buttons Achieve Safety Certification

Sept. 2, 2010
TÜV certification for the B10d Functional Safety rating was recently achieved on all styles of Allen-Bradley emergency-stop push buttons. 
This safety certification allows users to take the certified safety product data and include these products in calculating the safety level of their entire control safety system. This helps improve worker safety because designers have greater insight into when components, such as e-stop push buttons, will need to be replaced or repaired—to help ensure control safety system reliability. While many companies self-certify for the B10d safety rating, the Allen-Bradley e-stop buttons were rigorously tested with evaluation, verification and confirmation by third-party TÜV Rheinland, a leading international service group documenting the safety and quality of products, systems and services. The TÜV-certified e-stop push buttons are available now.Rockwell Automation Inc.www.rockwellautomation.com800.227.6143
