Series Of Standards En 61508 (Vde 0803) - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Function Manual

05.08
The user has the following possibilities when configuring a safety–related control:
S Using devices and subsystems that already comply with EN ISO13849–1 or EN
61508 and/or EN 62061. Information is provided in the Standard as to how
qualified devices can be integrated when implementing safety–related functions.
S Develop their own subsystems.
– Programmable, electronic systems and complex systems: Apply EN 61508
or EN 61800–5–2.
– Simple devices and subsystems: Apply EN 62061.
Data on non–electrical systems is not included in EN 62061. The Standard repre-
sents an extensive system to implement safety–related electrical, electronic and
programmable electronic control systems. EN 954–1/EN ISO 13849–1 should be
applied for non–electrical systems.
Note
The implementation of basic subsystems and their integration have, in the
meantime, been published as "function examples".
Note
In Europe, IEC 62061 is ratified as EN 62061 and harmonized under the
Machinery Directive.

Series of Standards EN 61508 (VDE 0803)

The series of Standards defines state–of–the–art technology.
EN 61508 is not harmonized under a particular EC Directive. This means that it
cannot be used as a basis for automatic presumption that the protective goals of a
Directive are fulfilled. However, the manufacturer of a safety–related product can
use EN 61508 to fulfill basic requirements from the European Directives according
to the new concept. For instance in the following cases:
S If there is no harmonized Standard for the application involved. In this particular
case, the manufacturer may use EN 61508. However, it has no presumption of
conformity.
