Conference Focus
The industrial use of electricity has always been the driving force for our economic development. This ranges from energy supply to the social networks of modern communication, which would be unconveivable without electric current.
However, electric current can also present hazards if its application is not safe. Especially since the new applications and technologies in the field of smart grid and electromobility are developing rapidly it is important today to take care that these work safely and people are not endangered by electricity.
Electrotechnical standardization is already providing a high level of protection for people and property. This level needs to be maintained for new technologies and applications too.
This is why the symposium addesses topics where science and industry must join forces with standardization to make a substantial contribution to the safe generation, distribution and use of electricity.
Audience
- Research and science
- Standardization, regulation
- Safety and Health at work
- Industry and commerce (e. g. medical engineering, automotive industry, maintenance)
- Planning and consulting
- TSO and DSO
XX World Congress
The XX World Congress on Safety and Health at Work will take place at Frankfurt Fair immediately before the international symposium. It is only a 5 min walk from Kap Europa to Frankfurt Fair.
