ISO 13849-1:2006 PDF Download

ISO 13849-1:2006 is a standard that focuses on the safety of machinery and provides guidelines and requirements for the design and integration of safety-related parts of control systems (SRP/CS). This includes software design. The standard applies to SRP/CS regardless of the type of technology and energy used, such as electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, or mechanical, and is applicable to all types of machinery.

The standard does not specify the safety functions or performance levels to be used in a particular case, but it does specify the characteristics and performance level required for carrying out safety functions. It also provides specific requirements for SRP/CS that use programmable electronic systems.

While the standard does not provide specific requirements for the design of products that are part of SRP/CS, it offers principles such as categories or performance levels that can be applied.
