Presentation Transcript

  1. Standards Comparison: USA and Europe

  2. Europe and US maintain distinct machine safety standards, but a migration is beginning.

  3. EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC • National laws of the European Union (EU) require that machines meet Essential Health and Safety Requirements (EHSR) • All new machinery must fulfill the same legal requirements when supplied throughout the EU.

  4. Role of 2006/42/EC Defines the Essential Health & Safety Requirements (EHSR) Ensures that a machine is designed and constructed to be safe so that it can be used, configured, and maintained throughout all phases of its life, causing minimal risk to people and environment

  5. Two Standards: ISO and IEC ISO – International Organization for Standardization IEC – International Electrotechnical Commission

  6. ISO 13849-1 Making Machines Safe Defines How to Determine Performance Level (PL) and How to Verify Achieved PL within a System

  7. EN 62061 Designing Electrical Safety Systems Defines Safety Integrity Level (SIL)

  8. Meeting Machine Directive Achieving and Managing Functional Safety Safety Plan

  9. Steps to Achieve Functional Safety Assessment and Risk Reduction Establish Safety Function Requirements Implement Functional Safety Verify Functional Safety Validate Functional Safety Document Functional Safety Prove Compliance

  10. References Allen-Bradley: Principles, Standards, & Implementation Schneider Electric: Safe Machinery Handbook`

  11. Discussion
