Overview of ISO 13849/IEC 62061 training

This functional safety training course is for engineers working on programmable machinery and control systems.

The standards covered in this course include:

ISO 13849 (Safety of Machinery – Safety-Related Parts of Control Systems)

IEC 62061 (Safety of Machinery – Functional Safety of Safety-Related Electrical, Electronic, and Programmable Electronic Control Systems)

In addition, other topics such as hazard identification and risk assessment in accordance with ISO 12100 will be covered. Case studies on a range of topics, including motor drives with their certification per IEC 61800-5-2 and safety product lifecycles, will also be used to provide examples of how the requirements and concepts of the standards are applied. The value of IEC CB Scheme test reports for Global Market Access is explained.

What topics do the ISO 13849, IEC 62061 and the EU Machinery Directive training cover?

Role of EN ISO 13849 and IEC/EN 62061 in machine safety regulations

  • EU Machinery Directive

Hazard identification and risk assessment (according to the ISO 12100 standard)

Design in accordance with IEC 62061 (considering overlaps with ISO 13849):

  • SIL assignment
  • Specification of requirements for SRCFs
  • Functional decomposition
  • Realization of subsystems
  • Determination of the safety performance of the subsystem
  • Basic estimation of PFHD of subsystems
  • Contribution of common cause failure (CCF)

The future of IEC 62061 and ISO 13849

Design in accordance with ISO 13849

  • Risk reduction and required performance level
  • Determination of required performance level
  • Parameters of performance level
  • Mean time to dangerous failure (MTTF), diagnostic coverage (DC)
  • Measures to avoid common cause failures (CCF)
  • Failures to be considered and fault exclusion
  • Introduction of quantitative analysis techniques
  • Evaluation of performance level (“simplified procedure”)
  • Software safety requirements
  • Software-based parameterization
  • Combination of SRP/CS to achieve PL

Why should I take ISO 13849/IEC 62061 Training?

By the end of this course, you should be able to:

  • Identify the required risk reduction and functional safety ratings (PL and SIL) to be provided by control systems.
  • Develop a safety concept that satisfies the requirements of both ISO 13849 and IEC 62061.
  • Apply the steps required by both ISO 13849 and IEC 62061 to achieve the required risk reduction and validate it.
