Design Safety Guidelines

Design Safety Guidelines

Design Safety Guidelines, integrated into the principles of design for machinery, are a crucial part of the reduction of risks. Safety improvements can be achieved through the use of specific design and manufacturing techniques, followed by validation through extensive analysis and testing. These standards delineate guidelines for manufacture, remanufacture, installation, and rebuilding of robots as well as safety-related parts of control systems in other machinery. Furthermore, descriptions of the design and installation principles for emergency stops are provided.

ISO 13849-1:2023

Safety of machinery - Safety-related parts of control systems - Part 1: General principles for design

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/TR 23849:2010

Guidance on the application of ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061 in the design of safety-related control systems for machinery

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.

ISO 13850:2015

Safety of machinery - Emergency stop function - Principles for design

ISO 13850:2015 Standard specifies functional requirements and design principles for the emergency stop function on machinery, independent of the type of energy used. It does not deal with functions such as reversal or limitation of motion, deflection of emissions (e.g. radiation, fluids), shielding, braking or disconnecting, which can be part of the emergency stop function. The requirements for this International Standard apply to all machines, with exception to: - machines where an emergency stop would not reduce the risk; - hand-held or hand-operated machines. NOTE The requirements for the realization of the emergency stop function based on electrical/electronic technology are described in IEC 60204 1.
