International Organisation for Standardisation

• ISO-13849-1 provides safety requirements and guidance on the principles for the design and integration of safety-related parts of control systems (SRP/CS) including the design of software. For these parts of SRP/CS, it specifies characteristics that include the performance level required for carrying out safety functions. It applies to SRP/CS, regardless of the type of technology and energy used (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical, etc.), for all kinds of machinery. It does not specify the safety functions or performance levels that are to be used in a particular case.
