Seminar on standard
September 1st 2008 Pilz Automation Technology is
organising regional seminars
based around EN ISO 13849-1.
The seminars, scheduled for
October, will assess the
relationship between this standard,
EN 954-1 and EN IEC 62061.
Philip Parry, a Specialist
Inspector with the HSE's Electrical
and Control Systems Group, will
give a brief history of EN 954-1
and EN ISO 13849-1, present the
HSE's point of view, and give an
update on the work of the ISO
13849-1/IEC 62061 liaison
committee.
In the main presentations Pilz
will explain the current status of EN
ISO 13849-1 and EN 954-1, as well
as the timescale for the changeover,
the differences between the
standards, and when each should
be used in preference to the other.
In addition, the requirements of EN
IEC 62061 and the relationship
between this standard and EN ISO
13849-1 will be discussed.
Delegates will be shown how to
use EN ISO 13849-1 and how to
perform calculations to validate the
design for the safety-related control
system – which may be electrical
or non-electrical.
