Safety System Design & OEM Compliance
We help OEMs design and implement safety systems aligned with international machinery safety standards — ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061 — ensuring both functional integrity and regulatory compliance.
🔍 Overview of the Standards
ISO 13849-1
Focuses on safety-related parts of control systems (SRP/CS) across electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic technologies. Uses Performance Levels (PL) to quantify risk reduction.
IEC 62061
Applies to electrical/electronic/programmable control systems. Uses Safety Integrity Levels (SIL) and adopts a full lifecycle approach based on IEC 61508.
📊 Key Differences
| Feature | ISO 13849-1 | IEC 62061 |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | All machinery types | Electrical/electronic systems |
| Risk Metric | Performance Level (PL) | Safety Integrity Level (SIL) |
| Complexity Suitability | Simpler systems | Complex systems with programmable logic |
| Lifecycle Coverage | Design & validation focus | Full safety lifecycle |
🔧 OEM Compliance Strategy: Step-by-Step
1. Risk Assessment
Use ISO 12100 to identify hazards and determine required PL or SIL levels.
2. Safety Requirement Specification
Clearly define each safety function including expected behavior and failure modes.
3. System Architecture Design
Design categories (B, 1–4) for ISO 13849-1 or SIL-rated systems for IEC 62061.
4. Validation & Verification
Ensure required PL or SIL is met through system testing, analysis, and documentation.
5. Documentation & Traceability
Maintain safety records for compliance, including software validation and audit readiness.
✅Our TÜV-certified experts help OEMs align with ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061 by delivering structured, traceable, and validated safety designs — ensuring compliance, minimizing liability, and building trust in your systems.
