An Update on ISO 13849 -1

ISO 13849-1 is a machinery safety standard for safety-related parts of control systems (SRP/CS). It applies primarily to industrial machinery and the standard is used by machine manufacturers, system integrators, and machine users.

A long awaited new version (edition 4) was published in April 2023 which has replaced the 2015 edition.

Edition 4 has been extensively revised and the whole document has been reorganised to better reflect the design and development process for safety-related control systems.

FOCUS TOPICS

• Recommendations for risk assessment and risk reduction
• Enhanced Safety Requirement Specification (SRS)
• Application of combinations of subsystems
• Software safety requirements
• Verification and validation
• The management of the functional safety
• New Annexes
