ISO 13849-2:2012 specifies the procedures and conditions to be followed for the validation by analysis and testing of the specified safety functions, the category achieved, and the performance level achieved by the safety-related parts of a control system (SRP/CS) designed in accordance with ISO 13849-1.

ISO 13850:2015 Standard specifies functional requirements and design principles for the emergency stop function on machinery, independent of the type of energy used.It does not deal with functions such as reversal or limitation of motion, deflection of emissions (e.g. radiation, fluids), shielding, braking or disconnecting, which can be part of the emergency stop function.The requirements for this International Standard apply to all machines, with exception to:- machines where an emergency stop would not reduce the risk. - hand-held or hand-operated machines.NOTE The requirements for the realization of the emergency stop function based on electrical/electronic technology are described in IEC 60204‑1.

This type-A standard applies to new, existing, modified or rebuilt power driven machines, not portable by hand while working, that are used to process materials by cutting; forming; pressure; electrical, thermal or optical techniques; lamination; or a combination of these processes. This includes associated equipment used to transfer material or tooling, including fixtures, to assemble/disassemble, and to inspect or test. The associated equipment, including logic controller(s) and associated software or logic together with the machine actuators and sensors, are considered a part of the industrial machinery.

This Technical Report provides guidance for the: implementation of functional safety principles in artificial intelligence (AI) programming when used as a means for machinery safety applications; effective communication between functional safety personnel (who provide the primary technical knowledge of machine(s) system hazards and the application of risk reduction measures) and data scientists / programmers with no or limited machine system knowledge, but who understand the capabilities and limitations of the AI system.

This standard provides performance requirements for the design, construction, installation, operation, and maintenance of the risk reduction measures listed below when applied to machines. · inherently safe by design (see clause 7). · engineering controls – guards (see clause 8). · engineering controls – control functions (see clause 9). · engineering controls – devices (see clause 10). · administrative controls (see clause 11).

Develop and maintain Standards for terminology, performance requirements, and related topics for robotic arms (manipulators).

This standard provides requirements for use in developing effective safeguarding methods to protect people from injury due to inadvertent contact with mechanical power transmission apparatus. When specific safeguarding methods are listed, they are based on sound safety practices; however, alternatives that provide equivalent protection are acceptable. The use of personal protective equipment is recommended, where applicable, but its use does not negate provisions of this Standard.

This standard applies to machines with a work envelope equal to or greater than two cubic meters (2 m3) or two meters of linear axis travel, or where personnel are regularly required to enter into the working envelope to perform work or tasks. This standard applies to large machines with a working envelope greater than two cubic meters (meters of travel). The requirements in this standard apply to all large machines, unless they are specifically covered in or by another standard. This document is intended to be used with both ANSI B11.0 and ANSI B11.19 to execute the risk assessment process and the risk reduction measures, respectively.

This Technical Report introduces three categories of inspections; conversational inspections, visual inspections, and technical inspections. Applying the appropriate category to existing inspections improves communication, safety culture, and risk reduction measures. Although each of the three categories provide a benefit, it is not necessary for all categories to be used. The template checklists which are included may be modified to produce “organizational specific” checklists by either internal or external subject matter experts

This document provides guidance on the practical application of safety and lean manufacturing principles to machinery and manufacturing systems for improving performance, safety and quality by reducing injury and waste. The guidelines in this technical report assist machine tool users to minimize waste and risk associated with machinery and manufacturing systems, including individual and integrated machine tools and auxiliary components.

The requirements of this standard apply only to those mechanically-powered machine tools commonly referred to as mechanical power presses, which transmit force mechanically to cut, form, or assemble metal or other materials by means of tools or dies attached to or operated by slides.

This document gives machine manufacturers guidance on potential security aspects in relation to safety of machinery when putting a machine into service or placing it on the market for the first time. It provides essential information to identify and address IT-security threats which can influence the safety of machinery.
