As global manufacturing becomes increasingly complex, multinational companies face mounting pressure to ensure consistent machine safety standards across diverse regions. A harmonized approach is essential – not only to meet compliance requirements but also to safeguard workers, reduce liability and maintain a strong brand reputation.
We offer end-to-end machine safety services tailored for organizations with multi-site operations. By aligning assessments with internationally recognized standards, such as ISO 12100, ISO 13849-1/2, IEC 62061, IEC 61508, ISO 11161, ISO 14119, and IEC 62443, we help our clients implement predictable, uniform safety frameworks globally. Our expertise spans both CAPEX (sourcing of equipment) and OPEX (utilization, maintenance, and ongoing safety) to ensure the same level of safety across all operational phases, regardless of region.
Our standardization tools, risk assessment protocols, and centrally trained experts ensure consistency in execution – whether you are sourcing new machinery or maintaining existing plants. This integrated approach simplifies regulatory compliance, reduces legal risk and improves operational efficiency. It also supports equipment standardization and the integration of emerging technologies such as AI, remote monitoring and cybersecurity features, in line with evolving global standards.
Our clients choose SGS for our global reach, local expertise, and agility in managing complex, multi-country projects,
says Andrea Vannuccini, Industrial Safety Global Equipment Certification Manager at SGS.
In one recent program, a major global e-commerce company partnered with SGS to assess machine safety across EU sites, addressing both CAPEX and OPEX needs. Success was driven by our rapid mobilization, consistent technical execution and familiarity with the company’s internal systems, ensuring efficient rollout with no rework or miscommunication.
Similarly, a leading construction materials manufacturer turned to us for customized safety audits across 20 sites, covering both equipment sourcing and ongoing maintenance. We provided centralized project management, tailored reporting and local expert deployment, delivering consistency, scalability and technical excellence from planning to execution.
Partner with us for compliance, control, confidence and continuity across your operations, from equipment sourcing to long-term maintenance and optimization.
