Standards
Safety regulaons are conrmed by laws and other governmental guidelines and measures
and the prevailing opinion among experts, e.g. by technical regulaons.
The regulaons and rules to be applied must be observed in accordance with the applicaon.
Risk assessment
This documentaon can only accentuate the need for a risk assessment. The user of the inte-
grated safety system must read up on standards and the legal situaon.
Before a machine can be put into circulaon, the manufacturer of the machine has to conduct
a risk assessment according to the 2006/42/EC: Machinery Direcve to determine the hazards
associated with the use of the machine.
The Machinery Direcve refers to three basic principles for the highest possible level of safety:
•
Hazard eliminaon / minimisaon by the construcon itself.
•
Taking the protecve measures required against hazards that cannot be removed.
•
Exisng residual hazards must be documented and the user must be informed of them.
Detailed informaon on the risk assessment is provided in the DIN EN ISO 12100:2013−08:
Safety of machinery − general principles for design − risk assessment and risk reducon . The
result of the risk assessment determines the category for safety-related control systems
according to EN ISO 13849−1. Safety-oriented parts of the machine control must be compliant.
