NX-series Safety Control Unit Instructions Reference Manual (Z931)
Regulations and Standards
The NX-series Safety Control Units are certified for the following standards.
The NX-series Safety Control Units allow you to build a safety control system that meets the following
standards.
• Requirements for SIL 3 (Safety Integrity Level 3) in IEC 61508, EN 62061 (Functional Safety of
Electrical/Electronic/Programmable Electronic Safety-related Systems)
• Requirements for PLe (Performance Level e) and for safety category 4 in EN ISO 13849-1
The NX-series Safety Control Units are also registered for C-Tick and KC compliance.
• EMC Directive
• Machinery Directive
EMC Directives
OMRON devices that comply with EC Directives also conform to the related EMC standards so that
they can be more easily built into other devices or the overall machine. The actual products have
been checked for conformity to EMC standards.*1
Whether the products conform to the standards in the system used by the customer, however, must
be checked by the customer. EMC-related performance of the OMRON devices that comply with EC
Directives will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of the equipment or
control panel on which the OMRON devices are installed. The customer must, therefore, perform
the final check to confirm that devices and the overall machine conform to EMC standards.
*1. Applicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards are as follows:
EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility): EN 61131-2
EMI (Electromagnetic Interference): EN 61131-2 (Radiated emission: 10-m regulations).
Machinery Directive
The Machinery Directive demands that the safety components that are used to provide safety for the
relevant machinery are used according to the required levels of safety.
The applicable directives are EN ISO 13849-1:2008 and EN 62061 SIL CL3.
