Featured Expert of the Month - Ryan Rosenberg Ryan is a Test Engineer for TÜV Rheinland, with over 10 years of experience in the TIC industry. One of his most interesting, recent projects was evaluating support equipment for a drone airplane on a USAF base. While there are always challenges on projects, the fact that this project was on a US Air Force base posed some unique ones. For example, just getting through security each day and being allowed to perform the work was tougher than usual, given the environment. Additionally, Ryan also had to communicate details to the end user without compromising the product itself. This project was a great team effort, involving Mike Devoy, one of TÜV Rhienland’s experienced engineers in the field. Standards applied during this project: 2006/42/EC “Machinery Directive” 2006/42/EC ‘Low Voltage Directive” Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health – BetrSichV EN 60204-1 “Safety of Machinery – Electrical Equipment of Machines – Part 1” EN 61010-1 “Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control and Laboratory Use Part 1: General Requirements” EN 60950-1 “Information Technology Safety – Part 1, General Requirements” EN / ISO 4413 “Hydraulic Fluid Power – General Rules and Safety Requirements for Systems and their Components” EN / ISO 4414 “Pneumatic Fluid Power – General Rules and Safety Requirements for Systems and their Components” Load Handling – European Directive 90/269/EEC Safety and Health – European Directive 89/391/ECC
