Mar 22, 2021 · IEC 62061:2021 specifies requirements and makes recommendations for the design, integration and validation of safety-related control systems (SCS) for machines. It is applicable to control systems used, either singly or in combination, to carry out safety functions on machines that are not portable by hand while working, including a group of ...

IEC/EN 62061, ”Safety of machinery: Functional safety of electrical, electronic and programmable electronic control systems”, is the machinery specific implementation of IEC/EN 61508.

IEC 62061 / EN IEC 62061 represents a sector-specific standard under IEC 61508. It describes the implementation of safety-related control systems on machinery and examines the whole lifecycle from the concept phase through to decommissioning. The new edition of IEC 62061 was published in 2021.

Nov 7, 2022 · IEC 62061 (safety of machinery—functional safety of safety-related electrical, electronic and programmable electronic control systems) is a standard for electrical and electronic safety systems to be used in machinery applications.

IEC 62061:2021+AMD1:2024 CSV specifies requirements and makes recommendations for the design, integration and validation of safety-related control systems (SCS) for machines.

Jun 16, 2009 · The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) developed IEC 62061 to help engineers reduce failures of all types within the SRECS. The standard breaks failures down into various types, such as random or systematic, and treats them differently because they have different root causes.

IEC 62061 provides a robust framework for achieving functional safety in machinery systems, building on the strengths of IEC 61508 and ISO 13849. Its adaptable and comprehensive approach empowers manufacturers to design and operate safer, more efficient machinery.

IEC 62061 retains the features of IEC 61508, but simplifies safety requirements (both hardware and software) adapting them to the specific needs of industrial machinery. Safety requirements are considered only for “high demand mode”, i.e. request of …

Mar 1, 2021 · It is applicable to control systems used, either singly or in combination, to carry out safety functions on machines that are not portable by hand while working, including a group of machines working together in a co-ordinated manner. This document is a machinery sector specific standard within the framework of IEC 61508 (all parts).
