Overview

The oSIST prEN IEC 62745:2026 standard, titled Safety of Machinery - Requirements for Cableless Control Systems of Machinery, is developed by the Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CLC). This international standard addresses the growing use of wireless or cableless control systems (CCS) as operator interfaces for machinery. These systems replace traditional wired controls to offer enhanced flexibility, safety, and operational convenience.

This standard outlines essential safety and performance requirements for the design, function, verification, and use of cableless control systems in industrial machinery environments. It aims to ensure that such systems operate reliably and safely, minimizing risks related to unintended commands, unauthorized operation, or electromagnetic interference.

Key Topics

  • Functional Safety Requirements: Includes prevention of inadvertent actuation, unintended commands, and unauthorized operation to reduce operational risks.
  • Communication and Transmission: Emphasizes safe serial data transfer, establishment and indication of reliable transmission, as well as handling cessation of transmission functions.
  • Safety-Related Stop Functions: Defines critical stop functions classifications ensuring emergency and safety stops are promptly and reliably executed.
  • Multiple Configurations: Addresses diverse configurations including single/multiple base and remote stations to support complex machine control systems.
  • Cybersecurity Measures: Specifies protections against cyber-attacks, jamming, replay attacks, and measures to secure the communication integrity of cableless controls.
  • Verification & Testing: Requirements for labeling, functional verification, environmental testing, and acceptance criteria to validate system safety and performance.
  • Environmental Conditions: Defines operating temperature ranges, humidity, and degree of protection to ensure reliable system operation in industrial environments.
  • User Information and Documentation: Mandates clear documentation and information provision for proper use, system integration, and maintenance.
  • Electrical Safety: Guidelines on protection against electric shock, power supply terminals, and fault protection to guarantee operator safety.

105 REQUIREMENTS
107 FOREWORD
108 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
109 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
110 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
111 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
112 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
113 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
114 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
115 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
116 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
117 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
118 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
119 interested IEC National Committees.
120 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
121 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
122 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
123 misinterpretation by any end user.
124 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
125 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
126 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
127 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
128 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
129 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
130 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
131 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
132 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
133 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
134 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
135 Publications.
136 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
137 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
138 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
139 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

160 INTRODUCTION
161 Cableless control systems (CCS) are increasingly being used to provide an operator interface
162 on a wide range of machinery. The functions of a CCS and the way in which they interface with
163 the overall machine control system can therefore affect the safety of the machinery. The risk
164 assessment can require the CCS to incorporate safety-related functions; in this case the CCS
165 becomes a safety-related cableless control system (SR-CCS).
166 IEC 62745 specifies requirements for the functions of a CCS incorporating safety-related
167 functions that is interfaced with or is part of a machine control system for use as an operator
168 control station on a machine. Additional requirements can be necessary for particular
169 applications.
170 The extent to which the safety-related functions of a CCS are relied upon to reduce risk on a
171 machine is a key selection criterion. It is therefore important to select a CCS that provides
172 suitable control functions with an appropriate safety integrity in accordance with the risk
173 assessment at the machine.

187 systems, including safety-related functions, that provide cableless communication (for example
188 radio, infra-red) between operator control station(s) and the control system of a machine.
189 Specific requirements are included for operator control stations that are movable or portable by
190 the operator.This document does not deal with cableless communication between parts of a
191 machine(s) that are not operator control stations.
192 This document is not intended to specify all the necessary requirements for the design and
193 construction of a cableless control system. For example, it does not specify communication
194 protocols, frequency or bandwidth aspects, nor the full range of constructional requirements
195 such as electromagnetic compatibility, etc.
196 The provisions of this document are intended to be applied in addition to the requirements for
197 electrical equipment in relevant parts of IEC 60204 series.

386 4 Functional requirements and risk reduction measures
387 4.1 General
388 A safety-related cableless control system shall comply with all applicable requirements of this
389 document and have at least, one safety-related function.
390 NOTE A CCS presenting one or more safety-related functions that does not comply with the following requirements
391 can not be considered as SR-CCS.
392 Figure 1 illustrates an example of the main elements of an SR-CCS and its interaction with the
393 machine control system.

397 and its interaction as part of the machine control system
399 NOTE The references to IEC 60204-1:2016 in this standard can have corresponding
400 requirements in other relevant parts of IEC 60204 series (e.g. IEC 60204-32).
IEC CDV 62745 © IEC 2025
401 4.2 Operational preventions
402 4.2.1 Prevention of inadvertent actuation
403 The remote station and its control actuators shall be designed and arranged so as to minimise
404 the possibility of inadvertent actuation (for example, caused by dropping to the floor or striking
405 an obstruction) generating an unintended hazardous command.
406 Measure to reduce inadvertent actuation include, for example: collars, enabling devices, hold-
407 to-run control (e.g., dead-man switches).
409 Depending on the specific application or design, where collars are used to protect operating
410 devices, they shall surround totally or partially such devices (e.g. push-button); surrounding
411 protective collars shall not be lower than the protected devices. For EMS see 4.7.3.4.
413 Note: sometimes collars can be higher than the profile (height of the device).
415 4.2.2 Prevention of unauthorised operation
416 Means to prevent unauthorised use (for example, key-operated switch, access code) shall be
417 provided.
418 4.2.3 Prevention of unintended commands
419 Measures shall be taken to ensure that operating command signals:
420 • affect only the intended base station or remote station (for example, using unique address
421 code);
422 • initiate only the intended functions in that base station or remote station.
423 Upon detection of malfunction or faults in these measures, an automatic stop function ATS shall
424 initiate. Where hardware switches (for example, DIP) are used for device addressing, additional
425 measures (for example, parity checking) shall be required to fulfil the requirements.
426 NOTE Typical methods include factory-set coding, which are more robust than user-configurable methods because
427 they cannot be defeated (either intentionally or inadvertently) by the user.
428 4.3 Serial data transfer
429 The serial data transfer shall satisfy one of the following requirements:
430 • means shall be provided that ensure the probability of an erroneous frame being received
-8 -3
431 undetected, R(P ), is less than 1 × 10 , given an input bit error probability of P = 10 , if
e e
432 no better input bit error probability can be proven, or
433 • the minimum Hamming distance shall be either 4 or the total number of bits in a frame
434 divided by 20, whichever is greater.
-3
435 NOTE 1 An input bit error probability of P = 10 can be assumed as typical estimate for a wireless channel
e
436 disturbed by Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
437 NOTE 2 IEC 60870-5-1:1990 defines a set of possible transmission frame formats.
438 NOTE 3 Increasing the reliability of serial data transmission only reduces the possibility of errors that can be
439 occurring in the transmission media.
440 In addition, for safety-related functions of an SR-CCS the residual error probability Λ of
441 undetected error per hour shall be less than 1 % of the specified PFH value for the respective
442 function of the SR-CCS. Residual probability of undetected error per hour Λ shall be calculated
443 by:
444 Λ(P ) = R(P ) × ν × b [1/h]

455 ISO 13849-1:2023.
456 NOTE 5 Λ(P ) calculation is based on IEC 61784-3:2021+AMD1:2024; this approach is valid for cyclic transmission

461 NOTE 7: The SR-CCS can be equipped with indicator of transmission reliability. See 6.2.
462 NOTE 8 It is not necessary to provide a separate warning indicator for each condition that can affect transmission
463 reliability.
464 Use of industrial wireless fieldbus technologies in accordance with the IEC 61784 series can
465 satisfy the requirements of this clause.
466 4.4 Removal of remote station transmission
467 Means shall be provided to readily cease transmission from the remote station. This shall be
468 achieved by one or more of the following:
469 a) a device that interrupts the power supply of transmission for the remote station, where such
470 a device shall have direct opening action in accordance with IEC 60947-5-1:2024, Annex K,
471 or
472 b) removal of the battery without the use of a tool, or
473 c) a dedicated transmission removal function in accordance with with 4.6.2.
474 A passive stop shall result from the ceasing of transmission.
475 4.5 Establishment and indication of transmission and communication
476 Power up of the remote station or re-establishment of communication (for example, after power
477 supply interruption, remote station battery replacement, lost signal condition) shall not activate
478 any output that is intended for control of hazardous operations of the machine. Initiation or re-
479 initiation of such operations shall require a deliberate action (for example, releasing a control
480 actuator from its energised position and then pressing it again).
481 The base station shall not respond to operating command signals that can activate outputs
482 intended for control of hazardous operations of the machine until a neutral frame has been
483 received (i.e. following re-establishment of communication).
484 When transmission from a remote station is taking place, this shall be indicated on the remote
485 station (for example, by an indicating light, a visual display indication, etc.); the indication shall
486 remain until the transmission ends.
487 NOTE It can also be useful to provide a means of indicating when a base station is receiving transmissions from an
488 associated remote station. For example, an output(s) on the base station can be designated for this purpose, and/or
IEC CDV 62745 © IEC 2025
489 a confirmation signal can be transmitted to the remote station if bi-directional communication is available. Where the
490 base station does not provide a designated means of indication, see 6.2.
491 4.6 Safety-related functions of the SR-CCS
492 4.6.1 General
493 Functions of the SR-CCS that are intended for safety-related applications, other than those
494 specified in 4.7.2, shall have an appropriate safety integrity. The requirements of
495 IEC 62061:2021, IEC 61508 series or ISO 13849-1:2023, ISO 13849-2:2012 shall apply.
496 Upon detection of faults, all safety-related stop outputs shall result in OFF-state. The detection
497 of a fault in the remote station that can lead to the loss of a safety-related function, shall cease
498 the transmission in accordance with 4.4.
499 NOTE Further information on the design of safety-related aspects of control functions is given in ISO 12100:2010
500 and IEC 61508 series.
501 4.6.2 Minimum safety integrity level
502 According to IEC 62061:2021, IEC 61508 series or ISO 13849-1:2023 each safety-related
503 function of an SR-CCS shall have a safety integrity of:
504 • SIL1, HFT = 1 or
505 • PL c Category 3.
506 4.7 Stop functions of the SR-CCS
507 4.7.1 General
508 The SR-CCS shall provide an automatic stop function (ATS).
509 At least one safety-related stop function shall be provided that is initiated by a deliberate human
510 action on a control device provided specifically for that purpose; portable and movable remote
511 station shall be provided with GSS or EMS, according to 4.7.3. Information about logic of all
512 stop functions is given in Annex A.
513 NOTE 1 In most applications this manually-initiated stop function is either a GSS or EMS (see 4.7.3).
514 NOTE 2 In most SR-CCS ATS and the additional safety-related manually-initiated stop function is combined in the
515 same stop output circuit.
516 NOTE 3 Emergency stop devices on SR-CCS is not be the sole means of initiating the emergency stop function of a
517 machine according to IEC 60204-1:2016.
518 4.7.2 Safety-related stop functions of an SR-CCS
519 Each safety-related stop function of an SR-CCS shall initiate an OFF-state of the stop output(s)
520 at the base station.
521 The safety-related stop function of an SR-CCS shall have at least a safety integrity according
522 to 4.6.2.
523 4.7.3 Classification of stop functions
524 4.7.3.1 General
525 Stop functions of an SR-CCS are classified as:
526 • control stop;
IEC CDV 62745 © IEC 2025
527 • general safe stop (GSS);
528 • emergency stop (EMS);
529 • automatic stop (ATS).
