Other established risk assessment procedures can also be used. Other procedures are in ISO 14971, SEMI S10, IEC 61508, ISO 14121-1 (note: today ISO 12100) and ANSI TR3. An example of this can be found in EN 61010-1: 2010 in Appendix J (Risk assessment): "The following describes a procedure for assessing a RISK based on ISO / IEC Guide 51 (1999). In addition, there are electrotechnical product standards that are based on ISO / IEC Guide 51 and also declare the EN ISO 12100 process to be suitable for electrotechnical products. The foreword to this guide contains interesting information on the applicability in connection with the Low Voltage Directive: "The content of this Guide reflects the requirements in the Low Voltage Directive 2014 / 35 / EU."Ī comparison with EN ISO 12100 shows that the methods are basically identical. By issuing the EC declaration, the manufacturer of the control cabinet declares the legal conformity of the control cabinet for itself, but of course not the suitability of the control cabinet in combination with the machine! Checking this is the responsibility of the company that places the machine or system on the market. Unless otherwise contractually agreed, the control cabinet manufacturer will refer "his" risk assessment to the electrical hazards inside the control cabinet. If, for example, a protective control device is used in the machine to secure a hazardous area, the position monitors for this are located directly on the machine, but the evaluation units and actuators are in the control cabinet. ![]() This creates an important interface between the machine builder and the manufacturers of the control cabinets. ![]() ![]() In manufacturing machines and systems, control cabinets are often bought from a third-party supplier. The documentation shall make it possible to assess the electrical equipment’s conformity to the relevant requirements, and shall include an adequate analysis and assessment of the risk(s). „The manufacturer shall establish the technical documentation. Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, ANNEX III, MODULE A, Internal Production Control, 2.
