EN ISO 14118 Machinery Safety - Preventing Unexpected Startups

This standard applies to unexpected start-up from any energy source:

  • Power source, eg electric, hydraulic, pneumatic;
  • For example gravity, energy stored due to compressed springs;
  • External influences, for example from the wind.

ISO 14118 does not specify performance levels or safety integrity levels for safety-related parts of control systems. While available tools have been defined to prevent unexpected startup, this standard does not specify tools to prevent unexpected startup for specific machines.

A type C standard may define the means necessary to prevent damage from unexpected start-up. Otherwise, the requirements for a particular machine must be determined by risk assessment, which is beyond the scope of this document.
