Performance Level Definition

Prevention or risk reduction of a hazardous situation or condition is usually accomplished nowadays using automation solutions (safety control system). The components which form the safety control system are called safety relative parts (SRP’s) and their proper and continuous operation should be ensured.

Ergonomia conducts studies to specify equipment’s required performance level, during the design of the machinery or after any modification according to EN ISO 13849-1 & 2. These standards, provide the safety requirements and guidance of the principles for the design and integration of SRP’s  and specifies characteristics for carrying out a safety function.
