VDE Online Seminars

In addition to low energy consumption and easy handling, quality and safety are also crucial in our homes.
This is not only important for reasons of liability, but also as an image factor and not least as a competitive advantage.
In our VDE online seminar, we want to work with you to pay special attention to the topics of energy, property tests, smart communication and possible future regulatory requirements.

In this Online-Seminar, we would like to take a look at the functional safety of machine controls. We will talk about the standards of functional safety ((ISO 13849-1/-2) and for example, legal requirements. Which requirements and regulations are existing? What ist he manufacturer´s responsibility for CE marking or which points must be dealed with through the hazard and risk analysis?
Finally, we will get in touch with a few examples of safety functions and show you how the VDE Institute can support you.

We look forward to your participation in our free online-seminar.

Since October 2020, manufacturers have been able to report substances of very high concern (SVHC) in their products in the SCIP database of the European Chemicals Agency ECHA. This notification will be mandatory from January 5, 2021.

In our webinar we cover the different tools that are available for reporting. We also clarify which specific data are required and how the manufacturers can determine this.

The complexity and variety of cable requirements

Cables are often underestimated in terms of their significance. Their importance within a system is usually first brought to light when a failure occurs.
The primary function of a cable is electrical transmission of data, signals or energy. The challenge, however, will be to maintain this elementary function under various harsh environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures, contact with aggressive chemical substances like cooling agents or greases, mechanical loads (especially in permanent moving applications) or under fire conditions.
A cable expert must function simultaneously as an electrical engineer, a chemist and a mechanic. In order to specify and dimension cables correctly, it is essential to know the details of the operational environment right from the project planning phase.

Year after year, inadequate or incomprehensible operating instructions cause severe damage, since users are tempted to try to handle commissioning and operating of their new devices on their own. This often leads to frustration and a significant discontent not only with the product, but also with the manufacturer. Additionally, a high complaint rate creates higher expenses for the manufacturer and his customer services.

In this online seminar we present possibilities for designing manuals, making them interesting and appealing, easy to read and understand, thus being able to become an important part of the overall quality of your product.

We look forward to your participation in our free online-seminar.

High requirements apply to electrical devices that come into contact with food. In this webinar you will find all the important information about Good Manufacturing Practice and the three levels of the declaration of conformity. We also deal with Directive 1245/2020 / EU: Current requirements for plastics.
