Safexpert Knowledge Base products contain additional knowledge on specific standards sections that can be updated daily.
Safexpert reads the information from the Knowledge Base from the database on the Safexpert Live Server in real time and displays the results in the Safexpert PDF Viewer in the right place directly during your study.
Knowledge Base products are additional products to the module Safexpert NormManager.

SECOM experts have the option of assigning new technical and experiential knowledge to specific knowledge types in the product groups "Technical literature" or "Additional knowledge". This makes it easier for you as a user to get an overview of the information provided.
Information previously offered in printed form or as an eBook, such as guides, commentaries on standards, EU directives or other documents, QM manuals, design manuals, etc., can be offered in Safexpert in digitised and machine-readable form.
Standards must not contain any advertising for products of certain manufacturers. As a designer, however, you would like to know with which equipment you can fulfil the requirements of the standards according to the state of the art. With Safexpert, we now offer manufacturers of safety components or other products the possibility to link their proposed solutions with the requirements from standards and to update them daily. As a designer, you can find the application examples directly while studying the standard and save yourself the tedious development of your own solution.
In addition, manufacturers of safety components can also offer their proposed solution variants in their own solution libraries.
Im Gegensatz zur Produktgruppe „Fachliteratur“ werden die Inhalte der Produktgruppe „Zusatzwissen“ direkt in die Datenbank geschrieben. Dies reduziert den redaktionellen Aufwand und damit die Geschwindigkeit vom Bekanntwerden eines Ereignisses bis zur Veröffentlichung. So erfahren Sie von "wichtigen Ereignissen" in wenigen Minuten oder Stunden, anstatt Wochen oder Monate darauf zu warten!
These are comments that are often short and spontaneous, so that the readers of a standard learn about a particular issue as quickly as possible.
Examples: • Practical tips for the application of a specific section of the standard • General findings on a section of the standard. • Information about discussions in professional circles. • …
Despite harmonisation of the standards system, there are always differences between the national editions of a standard. This can make it difficult to demonstrably meet the standards of the target countries for a product.
With this type of knowledge, when you read a standard, you can see section by section if there is a deviation in another country, and you can see exactly what the deviation is.
This knowledge type contains information that a section of a standard is likely to change in its successor document.
Unlike the traditional revision information recorded in the bibliographic data of standards, this additional information is already available before the new version of a standard is published.
This knowledge type contains information on new methods that were not yet known at the time the standard was drafted and are therefore not yet included in this form in the currently valid standard.
Important: The state of the art is relevant to create a safe product and minimise product liability risks. Mere compliance with a standard that may not have been updated for a long time and no longer corresponds to the current state of the art does not protect against this!
Unfortunately, errors also occur in standards time and again. However, it often takes weeks, months or even years for a standard to be officially corrected after such an error has been discovered.
This knowledge type provides the infrastructure to report new findings about errors on a daily basis.
Practical tip: If you discover an error yourself, you can give feedback directly in the NormManager. Our SECOM experts will then take care of processing the new knowledge.
This knowledge type provides information on legally relevant specifics.
For example, these can be references in the lists of standards in the EU Official Journal with the information that the application of a certain section of the standard does not (or no longer) have any presumption of conformity. Manually, it is almost impossible for you as a designer to keep track of such facts.
This knowledge type includes messages about accidents that:
As a designer, it is particularly important for you to know about this in order to avoid any design or instruction errors
