Security category standard EN 954-1
Category Brief description of the rules Behavior of the system Principle
B (basic) The safety-related parts of machine control systems and/or their safety devices and components shall be designed, constructed, selected, assembled and combined in accordance with the relevant standards so that they can withstand the expected influences A fault can lead to a lack of security function Largely characterised by the selected devices
1 Same as B + use of principles and certified security devices Same behavior as B, but with a better reliability
2

Safety-related parts of control systems must be designed so that their safety function(s) are checked at suitable intervals by the machine control system. The safety function(s) must be checked:
(a) at the machine start-up and prior to the initiation of any hazardous situation, and (b) periodically during operation, if the risk assessment and the kind of operation show that it is necessary

This check may be initiated automatically or manually. Automatically, for example, the check may be initiated by a signal generated from a control system at suitable intervals. The automatic test should be provided by preference. The decision about the type of test depends on the risk assessment and the judgement of the end user or machine builder. 

The result of the test shall allow operation if no fault has been detected, or shall generate an output to initiate an appropriate control action if a fault has been detected. This requires a second, independent shutdown route

Notes: 
In some cases Category 2 is not applicable because the checking of the safety function cannot be applied to all components and devices. Moreover, the cost involved in implementing Category 2 correctly may be considerable, so that it may make better economic sense to implement a different category.
In general Category 2 can be realised with electronic techniques. The system behaviour allows that: the occurrence of a fault can lead to the loss of the safety function between checks; the loss of the safety function is detected by the check.

A fault is not recognised until the peridic safety check is not done Largely characterised by the structure of the control
3 Safety-related parts of control systems must be designed so that a single fault in any of these parts does not lead to the loss of the safety function. Whenever reasonably practicable, the single fault shall be detected at or before the next demand upon the safety function. This does not mean that all faults will be detected. The accumulation of undetected faults can lead to an unintended output signal and a hazardous situation at the machine. The safety function is maintained with the loss of a single fault
4 Safety-related parts of control systems must be designed so that a single fault in any of these parts does not lead to a loss of the safety function; the single fault must be detected at or before the next demand upon the safety functions (e.g. immediately at switch on, at the end of a machine operating cycle). If this detection is not possible, then an accumulation of faults shall not lead to a loss of the safety function. The safety function is maintained, even with the accumulation of faults
It is to the customer to specify the security category complying with EN 954-1 for specialised systems

Safety risk analysis must be complying with EN 1050 or EN 292-1. The contracting party configure the application on basis of these security rules.

 

 

Designation of electrical material
The designating code appear at a suitable place near the symbol. It establish a relation between the considered material in the equipment and the documents (schematics, bill of material, developped schematics, instructions). For the ease of the maintenance, it can be brought in full or partially on the material or in the proximity. The designation of electrical material is done by blocks identified by symbols, these last serving to differentiate the blocks 1,2,3,4.
Block 1 Upper function from where come all relation with other parts of the installation locally or in the behavior.
Block 2 implanting of the material
Block 3 identification of the material
Block 4 designation of terminal and wires
