Safety of Machinery - Emergency Stop Function - Principles for Design
Also Known As:
The DIN EN ISO 13850 standard provides guidelines and principles for the design of emergency stop functions in machinery. It outlines the functional requirements and design principles that should be implemented regardless of the type of energy used to control the function. This standard applies to all machinery, excluding hand-held portable machines and hand-guided machines, where the provision of emergency stop would not reduce the risk.
It is important to note that DIN EN ISO 13850 does not cover other functions that may be associated with emergency stops, such as motion reversal or limitation, deflection, shielding, braking, or disconnection. The standard aims to ensure that the emergency stop function is effective and can quickly bring the machinery to a safe condition in case of an emergency.
This standard maintains correspondence between European Standard and Directive 2006/42/EC, through an amendment. It aligns with the regulations and requirements set forth in Directive 2006/42/EC, ensuring that the design and implementation of the emergency stop function in machinery comply with safety standards and regulations.
