IEC 62061:2021 pdf.Safety of machinery – Functional safety of safety-related control systems.
As a result of automation, demand for increased production and reduced operator physical effort, Safety-related Control Systems (referred to as SCS) of machines play an increasing role in the achievement of overall machine safety. Furthermore, the SCS themselves increasingly employ complex electronic technology.
IEC 62061 specifies requirements for the design and implementation of safety-related control systems of machinery. This document is machine sector specific within the framework of
IEC 61508.
NOTE While IEC 62061 and ISO 13849-1 are using different methodologies for the design of safety related control systems, they intend to achieve the same risk reduction.
IEC 62061 is intended for use by machinery designers, control system manufacturers and integrators, and others involved in the specification, design and validation of an SCS. It sets out an approach and provides requirements to achieve the necessary performance and facilitates the specification of the safety functions intended to achieve the risk reduction.
IEC 62061 provides a machine sector specific framework for functional safety of an SCS of machines. It only covers those aspects of the safety lifecycle that are related to safety requirements allocation through to safety validation. Requirements are provided for information for safe use of SCS of machines that can also be relevant to later phases of the lifecycle of an SCS.
IEC 62061 is intended to be used within the framework of systematic risk reduction, in conjunction with risk assessment described in ISO 12100. Suggested methodologies for a safety integrity assignment are given in informative Annex A.
IEC 62061 specifies requirements and makes recommendations for the design, integration and validation of safety-related control systems (SCS) for machines. It is applicable to control systems used, either singly or in combination, to carry out safety functions on machines that are not portable by hand while working, including a group of machines working together in a co-ordinated manner.
IEC 62061 is a machinery sector specific standard within the framework of IEC 61508 (all parts).
The design of complex programmable electronic subsystems or subsystem elements is not within the scope of this document. This is in the scope of IEC 61508 or standards linked to it; see Figure 1.
NOTE 1 Elements such as systems on chip or microcontroller boards are considered complex programmable electronic subsystems.
The main body of this sector standard specifies general requirements for the design, and verification of a safety-related control system intended to be used in high/continuous demand mode.
