Safety of machinery - Emergency stop - Principles for design (ISO 13850:2015)

This International Standard specifies functional requirements and design principles for the emergency
stop function on machinery, independent of the type of energy used.
It does not deal with functions such as reversal or limitation of motion, deflection of emissions (e.g.
radiation, fluids), shielding, braking or disconnecting, which can be part of the emergency stop function.
The requirements for this International Standard apply to all machines, with exception to:
— machines where an emergency stop would not reduce the risk;
— hand-held or hand-operated machines.
NOTE The requirements for the realization of the emergency stop function based on electrical/electronic
technology are described in IEC 60204-1.

Sicherheit von Maschinen - Not-Halt - Gestaltungsleitsätze (ISO 13850:2015)

Diese Internationale Norm legt funktionale Anforderungen und Gestaltungsleitsätze für die Not-Halt-Funktion, unabhängig von der Art der verwendeten Energie, fest.
Sie behandelt nicht die Funktionen wie Umkehr und Begrenzen von Bewegungen, Abweisen von Emissionen (z. B. Strahlung, Flüssigkeiten), Abschirmen, Bremsen oder Unterbrechen, die Teil der Not-Halt-Funktion sein können.
Die Anforderungen dieser Internationalen Norm gelten für alle Maschinen, mit Ausnahme von:
   Maschinen, bei denen ein Not-Halt das Risiko nicht verringern würde;
   von Hand tragbaren und handgeführten Maschinen.
ANMERKUNG   Die Anforderungen zur Realisierung einer Not-Halt-Funktion, die auf einer elektrischen/elektronischen Technologie basiert, sind in IEC 60204-1 beschrieben.

Introduction
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 safeguard 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-hands 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 International Standard is a type-B2 standard as stated in ISO 12100.
When provisions of a type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B
standards, the provisions of the type-C standard take precedence.

3.1
emergency stop (E-stop)
emergency stop function
function which is intended to
⎯ avert arising or reduce existing hazards to persons, damage to machinery or to work in progress, and
⎯ be initiated by a single human action
[SOURCE: ISO 12100:2010, 3.40.]
3.2
emergency stop equipment
safety related parts of a control system which perform the emergency stop function
Note to entry: Typically emergency stop equipment is divided into input, processing and output elements.
3.3
emergency stop device
manually actuated control device used to initiate an emergency stop function
[SOURCE: IEC 60947-5-5:2005, 3.2.]
3.4
machine actuator
power mechanism of the machine used to effect motion
Note to entry: Example of machine actuators are motor, solenoid, pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder.
3.5
safety function
function of a machine whose failure can result in an immediate increase of risk(s)
[SOURCE: ISO 12100:2010, 3.30.]
3.6

4 Safety requirements
4.1 General requirements
4.1.1 Emergency stop function
4.1.1.1 The purpose of the emergency stop function is to avert actual or impeding emergency situations
arising from the behaviour of persons or from an unexpected hazardous event.
The emergency stop function is to be initiated by a single human action.
4.1.1.2 The emergency stop function shall be available and operational at all times and override all other
functions and operations in all operating modes of the machine without impairing other protective functions
(e.g. release of trapped persons, fire suppression). When the emergency stop function is activated it shall be
maintained until it is manually reset. It shall not be possible for any start command to be effective on those
operations stopped by the initiation of the emergency stop function until the emergency stop function is reset
by intentional human action. The reset of the emergency stop function operated by disengagement of an
emergency stop device (see 4.1.4) shall not initiate the machine start up.
4.1.1.3 The emergency stop function shall not be applied as a substitute for safeguarding measures and
other safety functions but shall be designed and incorporated for use as a complementary protective measure.
The emergency stop function shall not impair the effectiveness of protective devices or of devices with other
safety functions.
NOTE For this purpose, it can be necessary to ensure the continuing operation of auxiliary equipment such as
magnetic chucks or braking devices.
4.1.1.4 The emergency stop function shall be so designed, that after actuation of the emergency stop device,
hazardous movements and operations of the machine are stopped in an appropriate manner, without creating
additional hazards and without any further intervention.
NOTE An "appropriate manner" can include:
⎯ choice of an optimal deceleration rate taking into account the necessary design restraints of the machine;
⎯ selection of the stop category (see 4.1.3);
⎯ the necessity for a predetermined shutdown sequence.
Depending on the machine and the specific risks, the emergency stop function can include functions other
than stopping to minimize the risk of harm.
4.1.1.5 The emergency stop function shall be so designed that a decision to activate the emergency stop
device does not require the machine operator to consider the resultant effects.

4.1.2 Span of control of emergency stop device(s)
The span of control of each emergency stop device shall cover the entire machine.
Where a single span of control is not appropriate (e.g. when stopping all of the linked machinery could create
additional significant hazards or when stopping all of the linked machinery could unnecessarily affect
production) it could be necessary to have more than one span of control.
Each span of control shall be clearly defined and identifiable. Each span of control can cover section(s) of a
machine, an entire machine or a group of machines (see Figure 1).
Different spans of control of the emergency stop function may overlap.
The assignment of spans of control shall be determined taking into account:
a) the physical layout of the machine, based on the vision area of the machine operator;
b) the possibility of the operator to recognize dangerous situations (e.g. visibility, noise, smelt);
c) the necessary requirements of the production process;
d) t
