IEC/EN 61508, EN/ISO 13849 and EN/IEC 62061 & 61511 in the area of
functional safety as well as the Technical Guideline for the Handling
of Hazardous Materials (TRGS) 725 also apply, along with additional
product- specific standards where applicable.
Safety precautions have traditionally focused primarily on electrical
explosion protection. However, the mechanical components as a potential
ignition source has increasingly come into focus in recent years.
Users have to understand and carefully evaluate this background, and
incorporate that into their decision-making processes. Particular challenges
in this regard are the correct application of explosion protec-
tion marking and the evaluation of the safety integrity level (SIL) and
performance level (PL).
Attention: The company bears the burden of proof
SIL and PL are becoming more and more important in the process industry
and machine construction. Engineering the interconnection of
sensor, logic and actuator units to form a safety measuring chain is increasingly
becoming a central aspect in SIL calculations.
A detailed examination of the entire measuring chain is crucial
here! The principle that everyone is considered innocent until proven
