Special Announcements of the Committee (Workshops, Programs, etc.)
SEMI S2 to Machinery Directive Mapping
The S2 to Machinery Directive Mapping Task Force has completed its initial mapping of SEMI S2 to the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) Essential Health and Safety Requirements. The TF plans to publish its work as an auxiliary document. The TF also plans to identify priority S2/Machinery Directive gaps for possible future revisions to SEMI S2 (publish deltas as Related Information in S2). Prior to the publication of an auxiliary document, however, the TF would first like to request EHS committee members to review and provide comments on their initial assessment. A formal request for EHS committee member feedback will be sent out as soon as possible. Please contact Paul Trio (ptrio@semi.org) at SEMI for any questions or concerns.
