ISO machine safety control systems collection standards cover different aspects of machine safety. A popular standard listed here is ISO 12100, the general principles for design for risk assessment and reduction. Control-based machine safety is a fundamental part of working in a factory or other processing facility where heavy machinery is used and can protect the operators of machine control systems.
IEC 62061:2005+A1:2012 specifies requirements and makes recommendations for the design, integration and validation of safety-related electrical, electronic and programmable electronic control systems (SRECS) for machines (see Notes 1 and 2). It is applicable to control systems used, either singly or in combination, to carry out safety-related control functions on machines that are not portable by hand while working, including a group of machines working together in a co-ordinated manner. The contents of the corrigenda of July 2005 and April 2008 have been included in this copy.This consolidated version consists of the first edition (2005) and its amendment 1 (2012). Therefore, no need to order amendment inaddition to this publication.
ISO 12100:2010 specifies basic terminology, principles and a methodology for achieving safety in the design of machinery. It specifies principles of risk assessment and risk reduction to help designers in achieving this objective. These principles are based on knowledge and experience of the design, use, incidents, accidents and risks associated with machinery. Procedures are described for identifying hazards and estimating and evaluating risks during relevant phases of the machine life cycle, and for the elimination of hazards or sufficient risk reduction. Guidance is given on the documentation and verification of the risk assessment and risk reduction process.
ISO 12100:2010 is also intended to be used as a basis for the preparation of type-B or type-C safety standards.
It does not deal with risk and/or damage to domestic animals, property or the environment.
This document specifies a methodology and provides related requirements, recommendations and guidance for the design and integration of safety related parts of control systems (SRP/CS) that perform safety functions, including the design of software. This document applies to SRP/CS for high demand and continuous modes of operation including their subsystems, regardless of the type of technology and energy (e.g. electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and mechanical). This document does not apply to low demand mode of operation. NOTE 1 See 3.1.44 and the IEC 61508 series for low demand mode of operation. This document does not specify the safety functions or required performance levels (PL r ) that are to be used in particular applications. NOTE 2 This document specifies a methodology for SRP/CS design without considering if certain machinery (e.g. mobile machinery) has specific requirements. These specific requirements can be considered in a Type C standard. This document does not give specific requirements for the design of products/components that are parts of SRP/CS. Specific requirements for the design of some components of SRP/CS are covered by applicable ISO and IEC standards. This document does not provide specific measures for security aspects (e.g. physical, IT-security, cyber security). NOTE 3 Security issues can have an effect on safety functions. See ISO/TR 22100-4 and IEC/TR 63074 for further information.
ISO 13849-2:2012 specifies the procedures and conditions to be followed for the validation by analysis and testing of the specified safety functions, the category achieved, and the performance level achieved by the safety-related parts of a control system (SRP/CS) designed in accordance with ISO 13849-1.
ISO/TR 14121-2:2012 gives practical guidance on conducting risk assessment for machinery in accordance with ISO 12100 and describes various methods and tools for each step in the process. It gives examples of different measures that can be used to reduce risk and is intended to be used for risk assessment on a wide variety of machinery in terms of complexity and potential for harm. Its intended users are those involved in the design, installation or modification of machinery (for example, designers, technicians or safety specialists).
ISO/TR 23849:2010 is intended to explain the application of IEC 62061 and ISO 13849-1 in the design of safety-related control systems for machinery.
