1.2 Target Audience
This document is aimed at the planners, design engineers and programmers of automation
systems as well as the persons authorized to start up, operate and maintain the devices and
systems concerned. Specialized knowledge of safety-related automation systems is required.
All specialist staff (planning, installation, start-up) must be instructed concerning the risks and
the associated possible consequences which can arise as a result of modifications to a safety-
related automation system.
Planners and configuration engineers must have additional knowledge about the selection and
use of electrical and electronic safety systems in automated plants, e.g., to prevent improper
connections or faulty programming.
The operator is responsible for qualifying the operating and maintenance personnel and
providing them with appropriate safety instructions.
Only staff members with knowledge of industrial process measurement and control, electrical
engineering, electronics and the implementation of PES and ESD protective measures may
modify or extend the system wiring.
