Overview
The prEN ISO 11161:2024 standard, titled Safety of machinery - Integration of machinery into a system - Basic requirements, is a key document developed by CEN to address safety requirements for integrated manufacturing systems (IMS). This standard specifically focuses on manufacturing systems that incorporate two or more interconnected machines designed for specific applications such as component manufacturing or assembly. It provides essential guidelines and requirements for the safe design, safeguarding, and user information related to these complex systems.
Unlike standards dedicated to individual machines, prEN ISO 11161 emphasizes the safety aspects critical to the interconnection and integration of multiple machines within the IMS. It distinguishes itself by not covering separate machine operations where the safeguards meant for system production mode are inactive or suspended. This makes it an indispensable resource for professionals involved in the design, integration, and risk assessment of interconnected manufacturing equipment.
Key Topics
Scope and Applicability
Defines what constitutes an integrated manufacturing system (IMS) and clarifies that the standard applies primarily to interconnected machine safety, rather than single machine safety.Risk Assessment and Layout Analysis
Outlines a systematic risk assessment process using layout analysis to identify hazards, hazardous zones, and access pathways. This includes detailed information to support risk estimation, evaluation, and reduction in manufacturing systems.Design Measures
Details design aspects such as mechanical strength, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic components, stability, material selection, and safety against temperature, fire, radiation, slipping, tripping, and falling hazards.Safeguarding and Span-of-Control
Presents requirements for safeguarding task zones, interfaces between zones, and flow of materials. It also discusses the concept of span-of-control regarding control devices and functional safety performance to ensure safe operation borders within the system.Operational Controls and Modes
Explores start/restart protocols, stop controls including emergency stops, and different IMS modes of operation-automatic and manual-to ensure safe integration and use.
Applications
Integrated Manufacturing Systems (IMS)
This standard is particularly useful in industries implementing IMS for enhanced productivity and automation-such as automotive, electronics, and assembly lines-in scenarios where multiple machines work collectively.Machine Safety Engineering
Safety engineers applying prEN ISO 11161 ensure risk identification and mitigation at the system level, enabling safer machine interconnections and workflows.System Design and Safeguarding
Designers use this standard to optimize task zones and access paths, incorporate necessary safeguards, and ensure mechanical and electrical safety while maintaining system efficiency.Regulatory Compliance
Compliance with prEN ISO 11161 helps organizations meet international regulations related to machinery safety in interconnected systems, reducing liability and enhancing worker safety.

Introduction
Integrated machinery systems (see 3.1.1) can be different in terms of size and complexity, and can
incorporate different technologies that require diverse expertise and knowledge.
An integrated machinery system (IMS) is considered to be a whole new and different machine. Ideally, the
entities which individually know only a part of the IMS will cooperate with the integrator. Manufacturing,
as a stand-alone application or connected with other domains in the context of smart manufacturing, have
tasks, which can be internal or external to the IMS. For frequent manual intervention(s) to parts of the
IMS (e.g. inspections, maintenance, cleaning, set-up, observation), minimal downtime and prompt restart
are essential to lessen the motivation to defeat risk reduction measures. This can be accomplished by
safeguarding for these intervention tasks and use of "task zones".
This document describes how to apply the requirements of ISO 12100 in the context of an IMS.
Some examples of integration of machinery into a system are included in Annex A.
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) dealing 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 (for example, safety distances, surface
temperature, noise);
— type-B2 standards on safeguards (for example, two-hands control devices, interlocking devices,
pressure-sensitive devices, guards);
c) Type-C standards (machine safety standards) dealing 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 (e.g. small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (e.g. regulators, accident prevention organisations, market surveillance).
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 (e.g. 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.

DRAFT International Standard ISO/DIS 11161:2024(en)
Safety of machinery — Integration of machinery into a system
— Basic requirements
1 Scope
This document specifies the safety requirements for the integration of machinery into a system. It gives
requirements and recommendations for inherently safe design, safeguarding and complementary protective
measures, and information for use of an integrated machinery system (IMS).
NOTE In the context of this document, the term "system" refers to an IMS which can also collaborate with other
domains within the supply chain(s) of an enterprise (e.g. smart manufacturing). See also 4.3.2.
This document is not intended to cover safety aspects of individual machines and equipment that can be
covered by standards specific to those machines and equipment. Therefore, it deals only with those safety
aspects for the safety-relevant interconnection of the machines and components. Where component
machines of an IMS are operated separately or individually, the safety requirements of the relevant safety
standards for these machines and equipment apply.
This document is also applicable when a modification of an existing IMS results in a new configuration,
function, capability or location.
This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events when used as
intended and under specified conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable. This document also
provides requirements for IMS used in applications such as the following, but does not cover the hazards
related to them:
— underground use;
— nuclear environments;
— potentially explosive environments;
— hazards due to the lifting of persons;
— use of IMS in environments with hazardous ionizing and non-ionizing radiation levels;
— when the public have access.
Emission of acoustic noise can be identified as a significant hazard. The reduction of acoustic noise emissions
is not covered in this document.

The standard prEN ISO 11161 focuses on the safety of machinery, particularly the integration of machinery into a system, laying out the basic requirements essential for ensuring the safety of integrated manufacturing systems (IMS). The scope of this standard is specifically geared towards systems that incorporate two or more interconnected machines, which are commonly used in applications such as component manufacturing and assembly. One of the strengths of ISO 11161:2024 is its comprehensive approach to addressing safety requirements for IMS. It provides clear requirements and recommendations that guide the safe design and safeguarding of such systems, ensuring that manufacturers can create machines that work together without compromising safety. This is particularly crucial in environments where multiple machines interact, as it helps identify and mitigate risks associated with their interconnection. Moreover, the standard emphasizes the importance of providing adequate information for the safe use of integrated manufacturing systems. This ensures that operators are well-informed about how to safely interact with these complex systems, promoting a culture of safety within the manufacturing environment. Another relevant aspect of ISO 11161:2024 is its delineation of scope-specifically noting that it does not cover the safety aspects of individual machines and equipment that might fall under other specific standards. This clarity helps manufacturers understand where their responsibilities lie and which standards they need to consult when dealing with single machines or components that operate separately from the integrated system. In conclusion, prEN ISO 11161 is a vital document for organizations involved in the integration of machinery into complex systems, providing a solid framework for safety requirements that address the unique challenges posed by interconnected machines. Its strengths in promoting safe design practices and providing essential operational information make it a relevant standard for enhancing safety in integrated manufacturing systems.
La norme prEN ISO 11161:2024, intitulée "Sécurité des machines - Intégration des machines dans un système - Exigences de base", établit des exigences essentielles pour les systèmes de fabrication intégrés (IMS) qui intègrent deux machines ou plus connectées. Le champ d'application de cette norme souligne son importance dans des contextes d'application spécifiques, tels que la fabrication de composants ou l'assemblage. L'un des points forts de la norme ISO 11161:2007 est qu'elle fournit des exigences et des recommandations pour la conception sûre, la protection et l'utilisation des systèmes de fabrication intégrés. Cela permet de garantir que les interconnexions entre les machines et les composants sont effectuées de manière à minimiser les risques potentiels. La portée de la norme se concentre sur les aspects de sécurité pertinents pour l'interconnexion sécurisée des machines, ce qui est crucial dans un environnement industriel où plusieurs machines fonctionnent ensemble. Il est important de noter que la norme ne vise pas à traiter les aspects de sécurité des machines individuelles, qui sont réglementés par des normes spécifiques à ces machines. Cela clarifie la portée de prEN ISO 11161:2024 et permet aux utilisateurs de se concentrer sur les exigences de sécurité spécifiques aux systèmes intégrés sans confusion avec d'autres normes pour des machines individuelles. En somme, la pertinence de prEN ISO 11161:2024 pour ceux qui conçoivent et gèrent des systèmes de fabrication intégrés est indéniable. Les exigences qu'elle établit sont adaptées aux réalités modernes de l'intégration des machines, garantissant ainsi une approche proactive en matière de sécurité qui répond aux défis contemporains de l'industrie.
표준 문서 prEN ISO 11161:2024는 기계 안전성과 기계 시스템의 통합에 대한 기본 요구 사항을 명시하고 있습니다. 이 표준의 범위는 통합 제조 시스템(IMS)의 안전 요구 사항을 규정하며, 두 개 이상의 상호 연결된 기계가 특정 응용 프로그램을 위해 안전하게 작동하도록 설계되었습니다. 특히 구성 요소 제조나 조립과 같은 분야에서 사용되며, 안전한 설계, 보호 장치 및 IMS 사용에 대한 정보를 제공합니다. ISO 11161:2007의 강점 중 하나는 통합 제조 시스템 내에서 기계와 구성 요소 간의 안전 관련 상호 연결성을 강조한다는 점입니다. 이는 기계 각각의 개별 안전성에 대한 요구 사항을 다루지 않고, 여러 기계를 하나의 시스템으로 통합했을 때의 안전 문제를 중심으로 구성되어 있습니다. 따라서 이 표준은 각 기계 및 장비의 개별적인 안전 기준이 아닌, 상호 작용하는 기계들 간의 협력과 통합에 필요한 안전 기준을 제공합니다. 또한, ISO 11161:2024는 IMS 운영 시 기계가 개별적으로 또는 별도로 작동하는 경우의 안전 기준을 잘 다루고 있습니다. 안전 장치가 생산 모드에서 비활성화되거나 중단될 경우에도, 해당 기계와 장비에 대한 관련 안전 기준이 적용되어야 한다는 점을 강조하므로, 사용자의 안전을 보장하는 데 중요한 역할을 합니다. 결론적으로, prEN ISO 11161:2024는 통합 제조 시스템의 안전성을 확보하기 위한 기본적인 요구 사항을 정립하고, 기계 간의 안전한 상호 연결을 추구하는 데 있어 필수적인 표준이라 할 수 있습니다. 이는 현대 산업 환경에서 효율적이고 안전한 제조 시스템을 구축하는 데 매우 중요한 기준이 되고 있습니다.
