ISO 13849 (Machinery)

Fundamentals of ISO 13849-1:2023 for machinery safety: defining and validating the required Performance Level.

Course Description

This ISO 13849 training teaches engineers how to design and validate the safety-related parts of machine control systems and how to reach a required Performance Level.

Pedagogical Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the general principles of ISO 13849.
  • Position ISO 13849 within the Machinery Directive/Regulation ecosystem.
  • Determine the required Performance Level (PL a to PL e) of a machine’s control system.
  • Apply the requirements of the required PL.
  • Validate achievement of the Performance Level.
  • Use tools to gain efficiency.

Course Program
