European Safety Concept is based on 2 pillars European Directives Safety of Machinery EC Contract Article 95 (EEA) EC Contract Article 137 (Social Safety) Directive 89/391/EEC... to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work Low-Voltage Directive (73/23/EC) Machinery Directive (98/37/EC), 89/654/EEC safety & health requirements for the workplace (89/655/EC) use of work equipment by workers at work Harmonised European standards National laws (P.U.W.E.R.) Manufacturer, Supplier End User
Gaining compliance The role of EN standards Machinery manufactured in conformity with specified published European Harmonised standards will be presumed to comply with Essential Health and Safety Requirements covered by those standards
Hierarchic structure of EN Standards Type A Basic safety Standards Safety of machines; EN 292-1 Type B1 Group safety standards Higher-level safety aspects Type B2 Standards Generally handled safety-related devices Safety-relevant parts of control systems EN 954-1 Type C Standards -Specialist standards Specific requirements on specific machines
BSEN 954-1 Safety of Machinery - Design of Safety Related Parts of Control Systems Part 1 - General Principles for Design
BSEN 954-1 Safety of Machinery - Design of Safety Related Parts of Control Systems BS954-1 Scope of Standard Part 1 - General Principles for Design Provides safety requirements and guidance on the principles of Safety Related Electrical Control Systems Specifies safety categories and describes their characteristics Applicable to the electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and mechanical aspects of a system Highlights five levels of circuit integrity dependant on the severity of risk The standard identifies suitable design criteria for the five levels of circuit integrity

Generic Standard IEC 61508 Nuclear Sector Process Sector IEC 61508 Defined requirements to allow electronics/software for safety-relevant tasks Not harmonized under the Machinery Directive (MD) Defines State-of-the-Art Terminology Specifies EN 62061 for the machinery sector IEC61513 IEC61511 IEC 61508 IEC62061 Medical Sector Machinery Sector
Requirements are obtained from the risk analysis Risk assessment Risk analysis is part of EN ISO 12100 (earlier EN 292) and EN 1050 (ISO 14121) (HRN method) Risk analysis provides The necessary safety functions for the machine being assessed Required safety performance (SIL or PL for every safety function) Methods and techniques to determine the required safety performance are described in; EN 954-1 Category decision IEC 62061 SIL assignment process (Excel table) ISO 13849-1 Risk diagram
Standards previous status EN 954-1: 1996 (int. ISO 13849-1) Harmonized under the MD - presumption of conformance for CE Concept for electro-mechanical, hydraulic systems etc. Not adequate for complex systems Technology has been further developed Methods and techniques have been developed to enhance electronics for safety-relevant tasks
Objectives of the 62061 and 13849 development To provide an unambiguous method for a meaningful quantitative/ qualitative assessment of safety related electrical control systems on machines To add to the existing structural approach (EN 954-1 categories) by including RELIABILITY and SYSTEMATIC measures To provide flexibility of functionality and technology to optimise safety AND productivity
IEC 62061/ISO 13849 Functional Safety Terminology Performance Level Discrete level to specify the ability of safety-related parts of control systems to perform a safety function under foreseeable conditions. Safety integrity level (SIL) Discrete level (one of a possible 3) for specifying the safety integrity requirements of the safety-related control functions to be allocated to the SRECS, where level 3 has the highest level of safety integrity and level 1 has the lowest
Functional Safety Terminology IEC 62061/ISO 13849 Functional Safety Part of the safety of the machine and the machine control system which depends on the correct functioning of the SRECS, other technology safety-related systems and external risk reduction facilities. Safety Category Classification of the safety related parts of a control system in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent behaviour in the fault condition, and which is achieved by the structural arrangement of the parts and/or by their reliability. Categories B,1,2,3, or 4 (designated architectures) In addition to the qualitative requirements, now contain quantifiable aspects, to the designated architectures to achieve PL (performance levels)
Solution: IEC 62061 and ISO 13849 Complex programmable electronic A quantitative measure for safety performance will be introduced IEC 62061: Safety Integrity Level (SIL) ISO 13849-1(rev): Performance level (PL) IEC 62061 and ISO 13849-1(rev) considered safety functions A specific hazard (as a result of the machine) can be assigned a defined safety function The required safety performance can be defined for a specific safety function With SIL (IEC 62061) and the PL (ISO 13849-1(rev)) a clear hierarchically structured, graduated quantity will be defined that can be used to measure safety performance (safety-related performance)

Performance levels achieved with safety categories ISO 13849 MTTFd = low MTTFd = medium MTTFd = high Category B DC avg = 0 Category 1 DC avg = 0 Category 2 DC avg = low Category 2 DC avg = medium Category 3 DC avg = low Category 3 DC avg = medium Category 4 DC avg = high
13849 Performance level attributes As in EN 954-1 (1997) ISO 13849 Mean Time to failure MTTF d Categories Common Cause Factor CCF DC Diagnostic Coverage
ISO 13849 Mean time to dangerous Failure Low Denotation of MTTFd Range of MTTFd Between 3 Years and 10 years Medium Between 10 Years and 30 years High Between 30 Years and 100 years Note 1: MTTFd should be taken into account for each individual channel of operation.
ISO 13849 Diagnostic coverage Denotation of DC None Low Medium High Range of DC DC Less than 60% DC between 60% and 90% DC between 90% and 98% DC at 99% Note 1: Diagnostic coverage, including safe failures, is used to describe the fractional decrease in the probability of safe and dangerous hardware failure resulting from the operation of the automatic tests
IEC 62061 Reasons for new standard IEC 62061 Current standards do not address the main causes of failure of safety systems They primarily address the failure of safety devices They do not address the management process necessary to achieve a safe system They do not address the new technologies
IEC/EN 62061 Main requirements; IEC 62061 Define/measure the functional safety required/ achieved using the prescribed parameters Manage the design process of the required functional safety in the prescribed manner Manage the design activities using the prescribed process Realize the design using the prescribed design methodology Produce and maintain the prescribed documents relating to the specification, realization, verification, modification, installation, commissioning and validation Note: The standard is prescriptive in terms of the methods used to manage and document the design process but not in terms of the content of the control system design itself.
