Safety of machinery - Safety-related parts of control systems - Part 1: General principles for design (ISO 13849-1:2015)

This part of ISO 13849 provides safety requirements and guidance on the principles for the design
and integration of safety-related parts of control systems (SRP/CS), including the design of software.
For these parts of SRP/CS, it specifies characteristics that include the performance level required for
carrying out safety functions. It applies to SRP/CS for high demand and continuous mode, regardless of
the type of technology and energy used (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical, etc.), for all kinds
of machinery.
It does not specify the safety functions or performance levels that are to be used in a particular case.
This part of ISO 13849 provides specific requirements for SRP/CS using programmable electronic
system(s).
It does not give specific requirements for the design of products which are parts of SRP/CS. Nevertheless,
the principles given, such as categories or performance levels, can be used.
NOTE 1 Examples of products which are parts of SRP/CS: relays, solenoid valves, position switches, PLCs,
motor control units, two-hand control devices, pressure sensitive equipment. For the design of such products,
it is important to refer to the specifically applicable International Standards, e.g. ISO 13851, ISO 13856‑1 and
ISO 13856‑2.
NOTE 2 For the definition of required performance level, see 3.1.24.
NOTE 3 The requirements provided in this part of ISO 13849 for programmable electronic systems are
compatible with the methodology for the design and development of safety-related electrical, electronic and
programmable electronic control systems for machinery given in IEC 62061.
NOTE 4 For safety-related embedded software for components with PLr = e, see IEC 61508–3:1998, Clause 7.

Sicherheit von Maschinen - Sicherheitsbezogene Teile von Steuerungen - Teil 1: Allgemeine Gestaltungsleitsätze (ISO 13849-1:2015)

Dieser Teil der ISO 13849 stellt Sicherheitsanforderungen und einen Leitfaden für die Prinzipien der Gestaltung und Integration sicherheitsbezogener Teile von Steuerungen (SRP/CS) bereit, einschließlich der Entwicklung von Software. Für diese Teile der SRP/CS werden Eigenschaften, einschließlich des Performance Levels, festgelegt, die zur Ausführung der entsprechenden Sicherheitsfunktionen erforderlich sind. Er ist anzuwenden auf SRP/CS aller Arten von Maschinen mit Betriebsart mit hoher Anforderungsrate und Betriebsart mit kontinuierlicher Anforderung, ungeachtet der verwendeten Technologie und Energie (elektrisch, hydraulisch, pneumatisch, mechanisch, usw.).
Er legt nicht fest, welche Sicherheitsfunktionen oder Performance Level für einen speziellen Fall verwendet werden.
Dieser Teil der ISO 13849 stellt spezielle Anforderungen für SRP/CS mit programmierbar elektronischem(n) System(en) bereit.
Er stellt keine speziellen Anforderungen an den Entwurf von Produkten, die Teile von SRP/CS sind. Trotzdem können die angegebenen Prinzipien, wie Kategorien oder Performance Level, verwendet werden.
ANMERKUNG 1 Beispiele von Produkten, die Teile von SRP/CS sind: Relais, Magnetventile, Positionsschalter, PLC(en), Antriebssteuerungen, Zweihandschaltungen, druckempfindliche Schutzeinrichtungen. Für den Entwurf solcher Produkte ist es wichtig, sich auf spezielle anwendbare Internationale Normen zu beziehen, z. B. ISO 13851, ISO 13856-1 und ISO 13856-2.
ANMERKUNG 2 Für die Definition des erforderlichen Performance Levels, siehe 3.1.24.
ANMERKUNG 3 Die in diesem Teil der ISO 13849 bereitgestellten Anforderungen für programmierbare elektronische Systeme sind kompatibel mit der Methodik für Gestaltung und Entwicklung sicherheitsbezogener elektrischer, elektronischer und programmierbarer elektronischer Steuerungen für Maschinen in der IEC 62061.
ANMERKUNG 4 Für sicherheitsbezogene Embedded-Software in Komponenten mit PLr = e, siehe IEC 61508-3:1998, Abschnitt 7.

Sécurité des machines - Parties des systèmes de commande relatives à la sécurité - Partie 1: Principes généraux de conception (ISO 13849-1:2015)

La présente partie de l'ISO 13849 fournit des exigences de sécurité et des conseils relatifs aux principes de conception et d'intégration des parties des systèmes de commande relatives à la sécurité (SRP/CS) incluant la conception du logiciel. Pour ces parties, elle spécifie les caractéristiques, incluant le niveau de performance requis, pour réaliser ces fonctions de sécurité. Elle s'applique aux SRP/CS pour le mode de demande élevée et le mode continu, indépendamment du type de technologie et d'énergie utilisé (électrique, hydraulique, pneumatique mécanique, etc.), quelques soient les machines.
Elle ne spécifie pas quelles fonctions de sécurité et quels niveaux de performance doivent être utilisés dans un cas particulier.
La présente partie de l'ISO 13849 fournit des exigences spécifiques pour les SRP/CS utilisant un (des) système(s) électronique(s) programmable(s).
Elle ne donne pas d'exigences spécifiques pour la conception de composants intégrés dans les SRP/CS. Néanmoins, les principes donnés, tels que les catégories ou les niveaux de performance, peuvent être utilisés.
NOTE 1       Exemples de composants intégrés dans les SRP/CS: relais, distributeur solénoïde, interrupteur de position, PLC, unité de commande de moteurs, dispositifs de commande bimanuelle, dispositifs de protection électrosensibles. Pour la conception de tels composants, il est recommandé de se référer aux normes spécifiques, par exemple l'ISO 13851, l'ISO 13856‑1 et l'ISO 13856‑2.
NOTE 2       Pour la définition du niveau de performance requis, voir 3.1.24.
NOTE 3       Les exigences fournies dans la présente partie de l'ISO 13849 pour les systèmes électroniques programmables sont compatibles avec la méthodologie pour la conception et le développement des systèmes, pour les machines, de commande électriques, électroniques et électroniques programmables relatifs à la sécurité donnés dans la IEC 61061.

Varnost strojev - Z varnostjo povezani deli krmilnih sistemov - 1. del: Splošna načela za načrtovanje (ISO 13849-1:2015)

Ta del standarda ISO 13849 zagotavlja varnostne zahteve ter smernice za načela načrtovanja in integracije z varnostjo povezanih delov krmilnih sistemov (SRP/CS), vključno z načrtovanjem programske opreme. Za te dele SRP/CS standard določa karakteristike, ki vključujejo zahtevano raven delovanja za izvajanje varnostnih funkcij. Velja za SRP/CS za visoke zahteve in neprekinjen način, ne glede na
vrsto uporabljene tehnologije in energije (električno, hidravlično, pnevmatično, mehansko itd.), za vse vrste
strojev. Ne določa varnostnih funkcij ali ravni delovanja, ki jih je treba uporabiti v določenem primeru. Ta del standarda ISO 13849 zagotavlja posebne zahteve za SRP/CS, ki uporabljajo programirljiv elektronski sistem ali sisteme.
Ne podaja posebnih zahtev za načrtovanje izdelkov, ki so del SRP/CS. Vseeno je mogoče uporabiti podana načela, npr. kategorije ali ravni delovanja.
OPOMBA 1: Primeri izdelkov, ki so del SRP/CS: releji, elektromagnetni ventili, položajna stikala, programirljivi krmilniki (PLC), krmilne naprave za upravljanje z dvema rokama ter tlačna oprema. Za načrtovanje takšnih izdelkov je pomembno upoštevati zlasti veljavne mednarodne standarde, npr. ISO 13851, ISO 13856 1 in ISO 13856 2.
OPOMBA 2: Za opredelitev zahtevane ravni delovanja glejte 3.1.24.
OPOMBA 3: Zahteve, navedene v tem delu standarda ISO 13849 za programirljive elektronske sisteme, so
združljive z metodologijo za načrtovanje in razvoj z varnostjo povezanih električnih, elektronskih in programirljivih elektronskih krmilnih sistemov za stroje, podane v standardu IEC 62061.
OPOMBA 4: Za z varnostjo povezano programsko opremo za komponente s PLr = e glejte standard IEC 61508–3:1998, klavzulo 7.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
