What does the Risk Control Measures and ISO 13849 Self-Assessment Kit include?
The Risk Control Measures and ISO 13849 Self-Assessment Kit includes 527 structured assessment questions across 18 safety domains, an Excel-based scoring and reporting workbook with automated performance level calculations, a comprehensive 85-page implementation guide referencing ISO 13849-1 and -2, a gap analysis matrix, and two editable templates: a remediation action plan (Word) and a design review checklist. All files are delivered instantly via digital download in industry-standard formats: Excel, Word, and PDF.
Without a structured, standards-aligned approach to assessing risk control measures and functional safety in machinery systems, your organisation faces undetected compliance gaps, increased likelihood of safety incidents, and non-conformance with ISO 13849, the international standard for safety-related parts of control systems. The Risk Control Measures and ISO 13849 Self-Assessment Kit delivers a comprehensive, audit-ready framework that enables you to systematically evaluate, benchmark, and strengthen your safety controls in full alignment with ISO 13849 requirements. This self-assessment toolkit ensures you can proactively identify design flaws, justify safety integrity levels (SIL), and demonstrate due diligence during regulatory inspections or certification audits, avoiding costly delays, rejected certifications, or operational shutdowns.
What You Receive
- 527 ISO 13849-aligned assessment questions across 18 safety and risk control domains, including hazard identification, performance level (PL) validation, diagnostic coverage, common cause failure (CCF) analysis, and software development lifecycle, enabling rapid gap detection in machine safety design
- Four-stage maturity model (Initial, Defined, Managed, Optimised) for each control measure, allowing you to score current capability and visualise improvement pathways
- Integrated Excel-based scoring engine with automated PLd/PLE calculations and risk heat maps that highlight high-priority non-conformities needing immediate action
- 85-page implementation guide in PDF format detailing how to apply each question within an audit or design review, with references to ISO 13849-1 and -2 clauses, IEC 62061, and EN 60204-1
- Customisable risk control action plan template (Word) for assigning remediation tasks, setting milestones, and tracking closure of findings
- Gap analysis matrix comparing your current controls against Category B, 1, 2, 3, and 4 architectures, supporting SIL validation and technical file documentation
- Instant digital download of all 6 files (3 Excel workbooks, 2 Word templates, 1 PDF guide), ready for use in your next machinery safety audit or design phase
How This Helps You
Every unanswered or misapplied question in your safety control design increases the probability of catastrophic failure, regulatory penalties, or product liability claims. With the Risk Control Measures and ISO 13849 Self-Assessment Kit, you gain the ability to conduct rigorous, repeatable evaluations of your safety-related control systems, just as notified bodies and certification auditors do. You’ll pinpoint whether your architecture meets required performance levels, verify proper use of redundancy and diagnostics, and validate that your risk reduction claims are technically substantiated. This proactive assessment prevents last-minute audit failures, reduces rework in machine commissioning, and strengthens your technical documentation for CE marking. Without this level of scrutiny, organisations often overlook subtle CCF vulnerabilities or incorrect PL assignments, errors that can invalidate entire safety systems and expose leadership to legal liability.
Who Is This For?
- Functional safety engineers responsible for validating compliance of machinery control systems with ISO 13849
- Product compliance managers preparing technical files and supporting CE marking under the Machinery Directive
- Risk assessors conducting machinery hazard analyses and recommending safety function designs
- Quality and certification leads managing third-party audits and addressing NCs related to safety control architecture
- Design engineers integrating safety relays, safety PLCs, or dual-channel circuits into industrial equipment
- Internal audit teams evaluating process adherence to functional safety management requirements
Choosing this self-assessment kit is not just a purchase, it’s a strategic investment in engineering rigour, regulatory defensibility, and long-term operational safety. As the global benchmark for machinery safety control systems, ISO 13849 compliance is non-negotiable. Equip yourself with the only assessment tool built to mirror real-world audit criteria and industry best practice, so you can act with confidence, not guesswork.
