The field of interest of the Society is the theory, design, development and implementation of product safety engineering for electronic and electro-mechanical equipment and devices. This includes the theoretical study and practical application of analysis techniques, testing methodologies, conformity assessments, and hazard evaluations.

Our mission is to strive for the advancement of the theory and practice of applied electrical and electronic engineering as applied to product safety and of the allied arts and sciences.

 

Welcome to the web page of the IEEE's Product Safety Engineering Society. This society targets design professionals and design engineers interested in electrical product safety. The IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society addresses safety engineering for equipment and devices used in the scientific, engineering, industrial, commercial and residential arenas. It allows engineers and other technical professionals an opportunity to discuss and disseminate technical information, to enhance professional skills, and to provide outreach to engineers, students and others with an interest in the field.  Find out about membership and the benefits of being an IEEE and Product Safety Engineering Society member.  Why be a member?  Click the link to find out!

Affiliate Membership Info

Not an IEEE member?  Join as an affiliate.  Visit www.ieee.org/services/join/ for online forms.

A Society Affiliate is a member of an IEEE Society. Society Affiliates are not IEEE members and are not entitled to any IEEE benefits or services that are reserved solely for IEEE members. All affiliate benefits and services come directly from the individual IEEE Society offering affiliation. For each society affiliated with, the applicant pays a separate annual affiliate fee plus that IEEE Society's annual membership dues.

The Product Safety Engineering Newsletter

Current issues of the Product Safety Engineering Newsletter are available on the Society Members Only page of this web site. Back issues of Product Safety Engineering Society newsletters (older than one year) are posted on the Newsletter page and are accessible by non-members.

Also on the Newsletter page are issues of the old Product Safety Newsletter from 1988 through 1998 that have been collected by members of the Product Safety Engineering Society and provided as a service to the product safety community. 

The IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society is seeking authors to write articles and papers for our Newsletter. Refer to the information page or download the author's guide.  To advertise in the newsletter download the advertising brochure.

Social Networking Sites

IEEE Advancing Technology for Humanity

The IEEE has a social networking product from Ramius called Sixent.  Our forum is called the IEEE Product Compliance Forum and concentrates on EMC, Safety and Regulatory issues. The Forum was originally founded to discuss product safety issues, however it now covers EMC and other world-wide product regulatory issues. This is a companion tool to the emc-pstc email list. You do not have to be a member of the IEEE, EMCS, or PSES to participate in these discussion groups. We hope if you are not a member you will find them of enough value to become a member.

LinkedInLinkedIn is a business contact networking website. It specializes in interconnecting a network of experienced professionals from around the world.  The Product Safety Engineering Society created a group on LinkedIn in March 2008 and there are currently around 1000 members of that group. The primary uses of LinkedIn by PSES is to promote the Society, allow members already on LinkedIn to expand their network, post or look for jobs, and hold online discussions with likeminded individuals. IEEE membership is not required to join the group. There are other compliance related groups on LinkedIn as well groups for colleges, companies, and more. Do a search for the group “IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society” and join us on www.LinkedIn.com. It is great resource for expanding your own LinkedIn network.

FacebookThe Product Safety Engineering Society has a group on Facebook.  We are listed as a group under the Professional Organizations category.  Do a search for the group “IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society” on www.facebook.com and help us expand our presence and get the word out about our Society.
 

If you are interested in assisting us in the administration of one of the groups on the social networking sites like LinkedIn or Facebook, please contact our  or one of the existing group administrators. Responsibilities include accepting new member requests and monitoring sites for appropriateness of material submitted by users. The ideal candidate would be someone who frequents and is active in a particular group or site.
