Standards For Implementing Safety-Related Controllers - Siemens SINAMICS G120 Function Manual

A complete list of the standards specified and the mandated draft standards are available on
the Internet at the following address:
http://www.newapproach.org/
Recommendation: Due to the rapid pace of technical development and the associated
changes in machine concepts, the standards (and C standards in particular) should be
checked to ensure that they are up to date. Please note that the application of a particular
standard may not be mandatory provided that all the safety requirements of the applicable
EU directives are fulfilled.
A.1.2.3

Standards for implementing safety-related controllers

If the functional safety of a machine depends on various control functions, the controller must
be implemented in such a way that the probability of the safety functions failing is sufficiently
minimized. EN ISO 13849-1 (formerly EN 954-1) and EN 62061 define principles for
implementing safety-related machine controllers which, when properly applied, ensure that
all the safety requirements of the EC Machinery Directive are fulfilled. These standards
ensure that the relevant safety requirements of the Machinery Directive are fulfilled.
