08.07.2013 Safety interlocks granted independent seal of approval

Fortress Interlocks, Wolverhampton, UK, earlier this summer gained approval from TÜV SÜD, the leading international notified body for certification of safety components, for its mGard range of safety interlocks. Fortress is believed to be the only trapped key manufacturer to carry independent third party approval of this type. TÜV SÜD has certified that the mGard range meets the interlocking requirements of the latest European safety standards.

Trapped key interlocking is an ideal method of safeguarding machinery or potentially dangerous areas. The mGard range has a fail-safe design, having undergone an extensive FMEA (failure modes effects analysis) during its design stage, with over 100 different, rigorous safety tests. The mGard range of robust mechanical trapped key products is a completely modular system where individual components can simply be added or removed depending on the application. The system is suitable for a wide range of industries, such as food and drink manufacturing, as well as for washdown or explosion proof applications. www.fortressinterlocks.com
