DIN EN IEC 62061 VDE 0113-50:2025-12

This document specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the design, integration and validation of safety-related control systems (SCS) for machinery. It is applicable to control systems used either individually or in combination to perform safety functions on machines that are not hand-carried during work, including a group of machines working together in a coordinated manner. This document is a machinery sector specific standard within the IEC 61508 series (all parts). The design of complex programmable electronic subsystems or subsystem elements is not within the scope of this document. This falls within the scope of IEC 61508 or related standards, see Figure 1. The main part of this application standard specifies general requirements for the design and verification of a safety-related control system to be used with high/continuous demand rate. These changes are mainly corrections of the references made in the standard document and, among other things, also adaptations of picture titles.
