Compliance 

 

Compliance built into every HMI Solution

At PDS HMI Solutions, compliance is part of how we develop, manufacture, and support every Human-Machine Interface. Guided by the corporate mission of our german parent company Printec-DS GmbH, we place the highest priority on customer satisfaction, product quality, sustainable manufacturing, responsible supplier partnerships, and continuous improvement. Compliance with applicable regulations and internationally recognized standards forms the foundation of every project, from the initial design review through series production and long-term product support.

Whether your application requires components designed to meet the requirements of IEC 60945 for marine environments or documented manufacturing processes for highly regulated industries, our engineering team develops solutions that address both technical and regulatory requirements.

 

Product Compliance

Marine Industrial Silicone Keyboards

Engineered for demanding marine environments, our silicone keyboards: the DS85S, DS105S TP, and DS105S TB, deliver reliable performance where conventional input devices reach their limits.

Their fully sealed construction provides outstanding protection against dust, water, oils, and other contaminants. Designed to comply with the requirements of IEC 60945, these keyboards are ideally suited for maritime and offshore applications.

 

Why IEC 60945 Matters

IEC 60945 specifies the environmental, EMC, and operational requirements for electronic equipment installed on ships. Compliance demonstrates reliable performance under the harsh environmental conditions encountered in commercial vessels, offshore platforms, naval systems, and other maritime applications.

 

The Right Keyboard for Every Marine Application

Not every maritime application requires IEC 60945 compliance.

Depending on the installation environment, protection requirements, and regulatory specifications, many OEMs also choose our rugged industrial keyboards for protected marine installations. One of the most popular solutions is the DS104W, offering an IP65-rated design, excellent vibration resistance, optional backlighting, and proven long-term reliability.

Rather than limiting customers to a single product family, our engineering team helps identify the most suitable HMI solution based on environmental conditions, expected service life, and budget.

 

Development & Manufacturing

As part of Printec-DS GmbH, we combine more than 40 years of engineering expertise with certified manufacturing processes to develop reliable HMI solutions for demanding industries worldwide.

From concept development and prototyping to validation, series production, and lifecycle support, every project follows clearly defined engineering and quality processes to ensure consistent performance throughout the product's lifetime.

Our management systems are independently certified to internationally recognized standards:

  • ISO 9001 – Quality Management
  • ISO 14001 – Environmental Management
  • ISO 50001 – Energy Management

These certifications demonstrate our commitment to consistent product quality, environmentally responsible manufacturing, energy-efficient operations, and continuous process improvement. Regular internal and external audits ensure that our processes continue to meet the highest standards while supporting long-term customer success.

By combining extensive in-house manufacturing capabilities with a global network of qualified production partners, we provide cost-effective, high-quality HMI solutions with dependable supply chains, long-term product availability, and comprehensive after-sales support.

 

From Prototype to Long-Term Support

Developing an HMI is only the beginning. We support our customers throughout the complete product lifecycle—from the first design review and functional prototypes to series production, product updates, retrofit projects, and long-term spare part availability.

With engineering, manufacturing, and lifecycle management coordinated through a single partner, customers benefit from reduced project complexity, faster implementation, and reliable HMI solutions designed for years of continuous operation.
