This online video course provides a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to ISO 13849, the internationally recognized standard for the safety-related parts of control systems used in machinery. The course is specifically designed for beginners who have little or no prior experience with ISO 13849 and who are looking for a clear, structured overview rather than detailed design calculations.
Throughout the course, learners will gain an understanding of the purpose and background of ISO 13849 and its role in reducing risks associated with industrial machinery. The course explains how ISO 13849 fits into the overall machine safety process and how it complements standards such as ISO 12100 by providing requirements for the design and validation of safety-related control systems.
Key concepts including risk assessment, hazard identification, safety functions, Performance Levels (PL a to PL e), Categories B, 1, 2, 3, and 4, MTTFd, Diagnostic Coverage (DC), Common Cause Failures (CCF), verification, and validation are introduced in a practical and easy-to-follow manner.
