ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).

ISO 25119-4:2018(E)
Introduction
ISO 25119 (all parts) sets out an approach to the assessment, design and verification, for all safety life
cycle activities, of safety-related parts comprising electrical and/or electronic and/or programmable
electronic systems (E/E/PES) on tractors used in agriculture and forestry, and on self-propelled ride-
on machines and mounted, semi-mounted and trailed machines used in agriculture. It is also applicable
to mobile municipal equipment.
A prerequisite to the application of ISO 25119 (all parts) is the completion of a suitable hazard
identification and risk analysis (e.g. ISO 12100) for the entire machine. As a result, an E/E/PES is
frequently assigned to provide safety-related functions that create safety-related parts of control
systems (SRP/CS). These can consist of hardware or software, can be separate or integrated parts of
a control system, and can either perform solely safety-related functions or form part of an operational
function.
In general, the designer (and to some extent, the user) will combine the design and validation of these
SRP/CS as part of the risk assessment. The objective is to reduce the risk associated with a given hazard
(or hazardous situation) under all conditions of use of the machine. This can be achieved by applying
various measures (both SRP/CS and non-SRP/CS) with the end result of achieving a safe condition.
ISO 25119 (all parts) allocates the ability of safety-related parts to perform a safety-related function
under foreseeable conditions into five performance levels. The performance level of a controlled
channel depends on several factors, including system structure (category), the extent of fault detection
mechanisms (diagnostic coverage), the reliability of components (mean time to dangerous failure,
common-cause failure), design processes, operating stress, environmental conditions and operation
procedures. Three types of failures that can cause E/E/PES malfunctions leading to potential hazardous
situations are considered: systematic, common-cause and random.
In order to guide the designer during design, verification, and to facilitate the assessment of the achieved
performance level, ISO 25119 (all parts) defines an approach based on a classification of architecture
with different design features and specific behaviour in case of a fault.
The performance levels and categories can be applied to the control systems of all kinds of mobile
machines: from simple systems (e.g. auxiliary valves) to complex systems (e.g. steer by wire), as well as
to the control systems of protective equipment (e.g. interlocking devices, pressure sensitive devices).
ISO 25119 (all parts) adopts a risk-based approach for the determination of the risks, while providing a
means of specifying the required performance level for the safety-related functions to be implemented
by E/E/PES safety-related channels. It gives requirements for the whole safety life cycle of E/E/PES
(design, validation, production, operation, maintenance, decommissioning), necessary for achieving the
required functional safety for E/E/PES that are linked to the performance levels.
The structure of safety standards in the field of machinery is as follows.
a) Type-A standards (basic safety standards) give basic concepts, principles for design and general
aspects that can be applied to machinery.
b) Type-B standards (generic safety standards) deal with one or more safety aspect(s), or one or more
type(s) of safeguards that can be used across a wide range of machinery:
— type-B1 standards on particular safety aspects (e.g. safety distances, surface temperature, noise);
— type-B2 standards on safeguards (e.g. two-hand controls, interlocking devices, pressure
sensitive devices, guards).
c) Type-C standards (machinery safety standards) deal with detailed safety requirements for a
particular machine or group of machines.
This document is a type-B1 standard as stated in ISO 12100.

This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the
market players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
In addition, this document is intended for standardization bodies elaborating type-C standards.
The requirements of this document can be supplemented or modified by a type-C standard.
For machines which are covered by the scope of a type-C standard and which have been designed and
built according to the requirements of that standard, the requirements of that type-C standard take
precedence.

1 Scope
This document sets out general principles for the design and development of safety-related parts of
control systems (SRP/CS) on tractors used in agriculture and forestry and on self-propelled ride-on
machines and mounted, semi-mounted and trailed machines used in agriculture. It can also be applied
to mobile municipal equipment (e.g. street-sweeping machines).
This document is not applicable to:
— aircraft and air-cushion vehicles used in agriculture;
— lawn and garden equipment.
This document specifies the characteristics and categories required of SRP/CS for carrying out their
safety-related functions. It does not identify performance levels for specific applications.
NOTE 1 Machine specific type-C standards can specify performance levels (AgPL) for safety-related functions
in machines within their scope. Otherwise, the specification of AgPL is the responsibility of the manufacturer.
This document is applicable to the safety-related parts of electrical/electronic/programmable
electronic systems (E/E/PES), as these relate to mechatronic systems. It covers the possible hazards
caused by malfunctioning behaviour of E/E/PES safety-related systems, including interaction of these
systems. It does not address hazards related to electric shock, fire, smoke, heat, radiation, toxicity,
flammability, reactivity, corrosion, release of energy, and similar hazards, unless directly caused by
malfunctioning behaviour of E/E/PES safety-related systems. It also covers malfunctioning behaviour
of E/E/PES safety-related systems involved in protective measures, safeguards, or safety-related
functions in response to non-E/E/PES hazards.
Examples included within the scope of this document:
— SRP/CS limiting current flow in electric hybrids to prevent insulation failure/shock hazards;
— electromagnetic interference with the SRP/CS;
— SRP/CS designed to prevent fire.
Examples not included in the scope of this document:
— insulation failure due to friction that leads to electric shock hazards;
— nominal electromagnetic radiation impacting nearby machine control systems;
— corrosion causing electric cables to overheat.
