    New: TRAINING IEC61508 AND FUNCTIONAL SAFETY

Today EN 81-20 / EN 81-50 is used more and more which leads to questions and interpretation requests. As it is not possible to update the standard at short notice but useful to have these interpretations available, working group 1 (CEN TC10 WG1) formulated answers in a Q&A document.

EN 81/20-50: Interpretation

The transitional period which allowed to apply EN 81-20/50 as well as EN 81-1+A3 ends August 31, 2017. Today EN 81-20/50 is used more and more which also leads to questions of interpretation and interpretation requests. As it is not possible to update the standard accordingly on short notice but useful to have these interpretations available, working group 1 (CEN TC10 WG1) formulated answers and collected them in a Q&A document. 

Q&A document EN 81/20-50

For now these interpretations and Q&A document are made available on AFNOR website. In a later stage they will be handled in the update of EN 81-20/50. Remaining interpretations will be taken over in the update of EN 81-11.
