Abstract
The article focuses on the description of non-conformities occurring in safety-related control systems of machines collected by the author during safety audits of machines and production lines. The aim of the article is to familiarise machine designers with safety requirements and ways of eliminating common mistakes made during design, while at the same time indicating to investors buying machines which requirements to take into account when placing an order.
