ISO 13849 Safety-Related Control Systems Testing: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

The ISO 13849 standard is a widely recognized international standard for the design, development, and testing of safety-related control systems in various industries, including but not limited to, machinery, medical devices, and automotive. The standard outlines requirements for designing and implementing safety-related control systems that meet or exceed the performance of human operators under normal operating conditions.

The standard is developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in collaboration with other international organizations, such as the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC). Eurolabs laboratory testing service adheres to the latest version of ISO 13849-2:2016, which supersedes all previous versions.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 13849 Safety-Related Control Systems Testing is primarily governed by national laws and regulations. In the European Union, for example, the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) requires that machinery be designed to ensure the safety of users. The standard is referenced in Annex I of the directive as a means of demonstrating compliance.

In other regions, such as North America, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulates workplace safety through standards like 29 CFR 1910, which references ISO 13849-1:2016 for design requirements.

International and National Standards

Eurolabs laboratory testing service adheres to a wide range of international and national standards related to ISO 13849 Safety-Related Control Systems Testing. These include:

  • ISO 13849-2:2016 - Functional safety of electrical, electronic, programmable electronic (E/E/PE) control systems in the application of EN 954-1

  • EN 954-1:2009 - Safety of machinery Safety-related parts of control systems

  • ANSI/ISA 84.01-2004 - Application of safety instrumented systems for the process industries

    • Standard Development Organizations and Their Role

    The standard development organizations involved in ISO 13849 include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC)

  • American National Standards Institute (ANSI)

    • These organizations play a crucial role in developing, maintaining, and revising standards like ISO 13849-2:2016.

    How Standards Evolve and Get Updated

    Standards evolve through a rigorous process involving:

    1. Identification of gaps or needs for improvement

    2. Development of proposals for new or revised standards

    3. Public review and comment periods

    4. Balloting among participating members

    5. Approval and publication

    Eurolabs laboratory testing service stays up-to-date with the latest developments in the standard, ensuring that clients receive accurate and reliable test results.

    The following is a list of relevant standard numbers and their scope:

  • ISO 13849-2:2016 - Functional safety of electrical, electronic, programmable electronic (E/E/PE) control systems

    • Scope: Safety-related parts of control systems for machinery

  • EN 954-1:2009 - Safety of machinery Safety-related parts of control systems

    • Scope: Safety-related parts of control systems for machinery

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with ISO 13849-2:2016 and related standards is a critical requirement in various industries. Some examples include:

  • Machinery manufacturers must ensure that their products meet or exceed the performance of human operators under normal operating conditions.

  • Medical device manufacturers must demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements, such as the EUs MDR.

  • Automotive manufacturers must ensure that their vehicles comply with safety regulations and standards.

    • To comply with these requirements, manufacturers need to design and implement safety-related control systems that meet or exceed the performance of human operators under normal operating conditions. This is where Eurolabs laboratory testing service comes in providing expert assessment and validation of safety-related control systems.

    Eurolabs extensive experience in this field ensures that clients receive accurate and reliable test results, giving them confidence in their products compliance with relevant standards and regulations.

    Standard Requirements and Needs

    ISO 13849-2:2016 outlines specific requirements for designing and implementing safety-related control systems. These include:

  • Determining the performance level (PL) of the system

  • Selecting a suitable design approach

  • Ensuring that all components meet or exceed the performance of human operators under normal operating conditions

    • Business and Technical Reasons

    Conducting ISO 13849 Safety-Related Control Systems Testing is crucial for several business and technical reasons:

  • Compliance with regulations: Manufacturers must ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, such as the EUs Machinery Directive.

  • Product safety and reliability: Ensuring that products meet or exceed the performance of human operators under normal operating conditions reduces the risk of accidents and improves product reliability.

  • Reduced liability: Demonstrating compliance with standards and regulations can reduce manufacturers liability in case of accidents or product malfunctions.
