While EN 954-1 only described
safety switches quantitatively,
the new standard adds a
qualitative aspect. It takes the
safety in all phases of a
machine’s service life as well as
safety-relevant software into
consideration. There are different
classifications for the control
category, which permits lower-
cost solutions. The new standard
raises many questions.
How can we calculate with
EN ISO 13 849-1 and how is it
used to confirm the required
Performance Level? Which
components are taken into
consideration and how are they
assigned to the individual
channels?
Content:
• Risk assessment as per
EN ISO 13 849-1
• Differences from EN 954-1
• Terms in EN ISO 13 849:
Performance Level PL,
probability of failure per hour
PFH, diagnostic coverage DC,
common cause failures CCF,
mean time to failure MTTF
• Determining the individual
values based on selected
pneumatic and electro-
pneumatic circuits
• Checking prescribed safety
switches
• Insight into the software
SISTEMA
• Practical exercises
Target group: design engineers
and design managers from
mechanics, electrical
engineering and control
technology, as well as project
managers
Duration: 1 day
The EC Machinery Directive
describes the requirements a
machine manufacturer must fulfil
when building a machine. In
particular, the aspects of liability
and documentation must be
clarified.
CE certification for interlinked or
incomplete machines which are
integrated in other machines is
particularly important. In this
case, the safety at transition
points must be clarified, while
the control and emergency stop
concepts are also important.
After being sold, machines are
generally modified, sold on or
“refitted” and often operated for
many years. What safety
standard is provided for these
phases? What is the liability
situation if a machine is returned
to a manufacturer for reworking?
Content:
• Responsibilities of the
documentation officer
• Liability for managing
directors, design engineers and
signees of the declaration of
conformity
• CE marking and interlinked
machines
• What does the term
“incomplete machine” mean?
• Operational safety regulation
• Old machines and protecting
existing machinery
• Checking machine safety over
time
• Expansion and modification of
a machine - is recertification
required?
• What is a major modification?
Target group: design engineers
and design managers from
mechanics, electrical engineering
and control technology, as well
as project managers
