Rough-terrain trucks - Safety requirements and verification - Part 6: Application of EN ISO 13849-1 to slewing and non-slewing variable-reach rough-terrain truck

This Technical Report describes the risk assessment methodology followed to determine the Performance Level required (PLr), as defined in EN ISO 13849-1:2008, for specific safety related parts of control system (SRP/CS) of rough-terrain variable-reach trucks covered by prEN 1459-1, prEN 1459-2 and prEN 1459-3.
This Technical Report does not apply to SRP/CS that includes no electrical/electronic components.
NOTE   It is the intention of CEN TC150 WG2 to use the same methodology to develop future standards (e.g. further parts of EN 1459).

To tehnično poročilo opisuje metodologijo za oceno tveganja, ki se uporablja za določitev zahtevane ravni delovanja (PLr), kot je določena v standardu EN ISO 13849-1:2008, za posebne z varnostjo povezane dele krmilnih sistemov (SRP/CS) vozil za talni transport z mehanizmom za dviganje s spremenljivim dosegom, ki jih zajemajo standardi prEN 1459-1, prEN 1459-2 in prEN 1459-3.
To tehnično poročilo se ne uporablja za z varnostjo povezane dele krmilnih sistemov, ki nimajo električnih/elektronskih sestavnih delov.
OPOMBA: Cilj CEN TC150 WG2 je uporabljati enake metode za razvoj prihodnjih standardov (npr. nadaljnji deli standarda EN 1459).

4 General
It is intended that this document be read in conjunction with the corresponding Parts -1, -2 and -3 of
this standard (EN 1459).
EN ISO 13849-1 applies to the safety related parts of control system including the design of software,
regardless of the type of technology and energy used (electrical, electronic, hydraulic, pneumatic,
mechanical, etc.), for all kinds of machinery.
For safety functions that comprise mechanical parts only, no specific performance level is necessary.
There are many control systems fitted to trucks but not all will be subject to the requirements of EN
ISO 13849-1.
EN ISO 13849-1 is relevant for cases where a risk assessment according to EN ISO 12100 has
initiated a risk reduction measure that relies on a safety-related control system. In those cases the
safety-related control system has to perform a safety function. The application of EN ISO 13849-1 is
restricted to those cases only (see figures 1 and 2).
Systems may be subject to specific requirements in other standards e.g ISO 6292 - Powered
industrial trucks and tractors — Brake performance and component strength.

5 Description of the procedure followed to determine PL for SRP/CS of
r
trucks
The first stage of meeting EN ISO 13849-1 is to take the risk assessment/risk reduction output from
following EN ISO 12100 and to check whether the protective measure selected depends on the
control system.
In order to perform the EN ISO 12100 assessment correctly for trucks with respect to EN ISO 13849-1
compliance, any existing control system which has been added / modified for achieving safety should
be disregarded at a first stage so that the risk they are addressing can be understood. This is
important to get the correct inputs if the system is later determined as SRP/CS and requires a PL to
r
be determined.
The following key stages were applied to determine PL for SRP/CS:
r
a) Identify which functions of the truck involve SRP/CS and identify the relevant clauses in the
standard. Determine control systems (mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical/electronic,
electro-mechanical, electro-hydraulic…) that are necessary for the truck to carry out its intended
function 8.2 and Annex A)
b) Determine the intended truck limits as per EN ISO 12100:2010 clause 5.3 (see 8.1)
c) Perform risk assessment in accordance with EN ISO 12100:2010 clauses 5.5 and 5.6 (see Annex
E)
d) Take into account any risk reduction measures (intrinsic design and safeguards) and re-assess
the system to determine if the intended risk reduction has been achieved at this point any existing
control systems that are known to be used/added/modified for achieving safety should be
considered as a risk reduction measure. (see 8.3, Annex E and EN ISO 12100:2010 clause 5.6)
e) Determine if the protective measure selected is dependent upon a control system (and is
therefore SRP/CS). If it is not the process ends here.
f) If the protective measure is dependent upon a control system, use the information from the EN
ISO 12100 Risk Assessment to determine the EN ISO 13849-1 performance level that applies to
that system (this should consider that other non-control system risk reduction measures intended
to be fitted are in-place) (see Annex E)
NOTE The integrity of control systems which are not subject to EN ISO 13849-1 are to be ensured by
following sound engineering practice and by following relevant technical requirements and standards as
applicable. EN ISO 13849-1 imposes an extra burden to SRP/CS due to the nature and importance of these in
providing safety to exposed persons.
6 Risk assessment methodology
EN ISO 12100 does not define a risk assessment method but does define the elements to be
considered. Users of the above standard are free to choose a risk assessment method and ISO/TR
14121-2 provides practical guidance and examples. It should be noted that the informative “Risk
Graph” as presented in EN ISO 13849-1 is not a risk assessment tool that fulfils the needs of EN ISO
12100 as it does not include the important component of “probability of occurrence”. It also offers
limited selection of exposure, possibility of avoidance or limiting harm and severity as compared to
other documented risk graphs (see for example ISO/TR 14121-2, A.4).
The risk graph in EN ISO 13849-1 is a tool to determine a PL but is not a risk assessment method,
r
this tool was used to determine risks associated with a press and therefore its value is limited in
relation to mobile machinery. See 8.3 for risk evaluation of trucks.

CEN/TR 1459-6:2015 (E)
Document ISO/DTR 18670 Safety of machinery — How EN ISO 12100 relates to EN ISO 13849-1
gives more explanation on this point, for instance in clause 4.1 it’s written that:
“For the correct application of EN ISO 13849-1 basic input information resulting from the application of
the overall risk assessment and risk reduction process for the particular machine design is necessary.
Based on this input information the safety-related parts of the control system can be appropriately
designed according to EN ISO 13849-1. Information resulting from a detailed design of safety-related
parts of the control system relevant for its integration into the machine design has then to be
considered in the overall risk assessment and risk reduction process according to EN ISO 12100.”
“…Consequently all necessary input information for the selection of the PL (elements of risk values
r
for the considered hazardous situation) are available from the overall risk assessment and risk
reduction process according to EN ISO 12100.
Therefore a separate risk assessment for the application of EN ISO 13849-1 is not necessary. The
graph given in EN ISO 13849-1:2006, Figure A.1 is used only to select the PL for safety functions
r
and is not intended to be used as a risk estimation method for the overall machine according to EN
ISO 12100.”

The risk evaluation used for trucks is based on the Kinney method machinery safety
7 Risk Assessment Process
7.1 Determination of Machine limits
The following limits of use for the trucks is determined first in accordance with ISO 14121 to assist
with the risk assessment.
a) Intended use:
 Starting
 Driving
 Load handling
 User stabilizers
 Operation (right side window breakage)
 Maintenance
 Lifting of persons (only EN 1459-3)

b) Foreseeable misuse:
 Overriding of LLMC-LLMI and other safety devices (not emergency situation)
 Use of stabilizers to displace the machine
 Improper use of forks and other attachments
