Example application checklist (short)

  1. Confirm the ESPE type suits the hazard and environment.
  2. Carry out a risk assessment and determine required performance level.
  3. Verify detection capability and response time for the application.
  4. Plan installation distances and mounting to prevent access before stopping.
  5. Integrate with safety-rated stop/control systems and document tests.
  6. Implement maintenance, inspection, and testing schedules.

IEC 61496-1 focuses on the functional and design requirements of ESPE used as part of a safety-related system. It is a technology-neutral "Part 1" standard, meaning it provides the general framework that applies to all ESPE regardless of the specific sensing technology used. Confirm the ESPE type suits the hazard and environment

IEC 61496-1 categorizes devices into Types based on their fault tolerance and reliability. IEC 61496-1:2020 IEC 61496-1 focuses on the functional and design
