4 Basic Safety Principles Why safety? What hazards to consider
5 Basic Safety Principles Why safety? We have a duty of care to our end-users to ensure products are safe Legislation lays out safety requirements in broad terms Low Voltage Directive (including as required by R&TTE) General Product Safety Directive TÜV SÜD Product Service Slide 5
6 Basic Safety Principles EU law (the Low Voltage Directive) requires that products: be made in such a way as to ensure that it can be safely and properly assembled and connected protect against hazards arising from the electrical equipment to ensure: that persons and domestic animals are adequately protected against the danger of physical injury or other harm which might be caused by direct or indirect contact that temperatures, arcs or radiation which would cause a danger, are not produced that the insulation must be suitable for foreseeable conditions protect against hazards which may be caused by external influences on the electrical equipment to ensure: that the electrical equipment meets the expected mechanical requirements in such a way that persons, domestic animals and property are not endangered that the electrical equipment shall be resistant to non-mechanical influences in expected environmental conditions, in such a way that persons, domestic animals and property are not endangered that the electrical equipment shall not endanger persons, domestic animals and property in foreseeable conditions of overload TÜV SÜD Product Service Slide 6
7 Basic Safety Principles Electric Shock Energy Hazards Fire Heat Hazards Mechanical Hazards Radiation Chemical Hazards Foreseeable Conditions all the above hazards must be avoided in normal conditions AND avoided under fault conditions TÜV SÜD Product Service Slide 7
8 Basic Safety Principles Electric shock Electric shock is due to current passing through the body It can cause: Perception < 0.5mA Reaction 0.5-5mA Inability to let go 5-10mA Ventricular fibrillation 20-30mA Cell damage > 30mA Burn hazard (high frequency) > 30mA TÜV SÜD Product Service Slide 8
9 Basic Safety Principles Electric shock Direct contact with parts at hazardous voltage: Secure covers to prevent access Breakdown of insulation between parts at hazardous voltage and accessible conductive parts: Double or reinforced insulation Earthed accessible conductive parts Leakage Current: Limit leakage current to a safe value Select the lowest practical EMC filtering capacitors TÜV SÜD Product Service Slide 9
10 Basic Safety Principles Electric shock Law requires that insulation is suitable for foreseeable conditions Test standards require two levels of protection against electric shock (i.e. equipment shall be safe under both normal AND single fault conditions) TÜV SÜD Product Service Slide 10
11 Basic Safety Principles Electric shock Differing risk for different equipment (or parts of equipment): Moveable Equipment: higher risk: supply cord rupture, broken earth conductor Handheld Equipment: wear and tear is higher Operator access areas Service access areas Restricted access locations (RAL) Permanently connected equipment TÜV SÜD Product Service Slide 11
12 Basic Safety Principles Energy hazard High levels of electrical energy present a risk of injury (burns) or fire (ejection of molten or incandescent material) Short-circuiting releases the energy very quickly Can happen in low-voltage circuits Protection can be provided by: limiting user accessibility providing interlocks and guarding against accidental service personnel contact TÜV SÜD Product Service Slide 12
13 Basic Safety Principles Fire hazard Fires may be caused by high temperatures resulting from: Overloads Component failures Insulation breakdown High contact resistance Loose connections Foreign bodies TÜV SÜD Product Service Slide 13
14 Basic Safety Principles Fire hazard Approach to limiting risk of propagation: Providing over-current / over-temperature protection Avoiding high temperatures Positioning combustible materials away from potential ignition sources Limiting quantity of combustible materials Using materials with low flammability Using enclosures / barriers TÜV SÜD Product Service Slide 14
15 Basic Safety Principles Heat Hazard High temperatures under normal operating conditions can result in: Burns due to contact with hot parts Degradation of insulation & safety critical components Ignition of flammable liquids TÜV SÜD Product Service Slide 15
16 Basic Safety Principles Heat Hazard To reduce heat related hazards: Avoid high temperatures Add cooling features fans or heatsinks Avoid temperatures above ignition points of flammable liquids Warning markings Restrict accessibility TÜV SÜD Product Service Slide 16
17 Basic Safety Principles Mechanical Hazard Injury due the physical and mechanical properties of the equipment equipment stability sharp edges and corners ejected parts moving parts Approaches to limiting mechanical risks include: Restricting accessibility Guards, interlocks Stability testing Rounding of sharp edges and corners Warning markings TÜV SÜD Product Service Slide 17
18 Basic Safety Principles Radiation Hazard Equipment operators and service personnel shall be protected from injurious levels of radiation emissions Types of radiation include: Laser (light) radiation IEC X-ray (e.g. CRTs) Radio frequency Ultraviolet (UV) light Provide barriers to radiation Limit radiation levels TÜV SÜD Product Service Slide 18
19 Basic Safety Principles Chemical Hazard Injuries may be caused by contact with or inhalation of chemicals, their vapours and fumes. Protection against chemical hazards can be provided by: Avoiding the use of chemicals likely to cause injury Limiting contact and inhalation Avoiding conditions likely to cause leakage or vaporisation Regular exchange of air to prevent vapour build-up Warning labels and instructions regarding precautions TÜV SÜD Product Service Slide 19
20 Basic Safety Principles Selection of Materials and Components Must be selected and arranged to perform over the expected life of the equipment without creating any hazard Compatible with other materials or chemicals used Reliable construction and arrangement in normal operation and fault conditions Used within their specified ratings Approved to relevant component safety standards TÜV SÜD Product Service Slide 20
21 Submitting for Safety Testing Selection of standards Hints and tips to minimise failures
22 Submitting for Testing Selection of standards IEC electrical safety standards EN standards for electrical safety are derived from IEC standard Similarly many UL standards are derived from IEC EN and UL standards include group and national differences Editions of the standard Harmonised standards in the EU give a presumption of conformity European Commission s Official Journal (OJ) lists the current harmonised standards IEC webstore gives latest editions and amendments of the IEC standards National differences Many European Standards impose Special National Conditions (SNCs) SNCs are mandatory when the product is supplied in those nations TÜV SÜD Product Service Slide 22
23 Submitting for Testing Regulations, directives and laws tell us products must be safe Technical standards give the means to prove safety IEC (AV equipment) IEC (household appliances) IEC (office and IT equipment) IEC (lab and control equipment) etc (specialist standards for other safety requirements) TÜV SÜD Product Service Slide 23
24 Submitting for Safety Testing Types of Safety Testing There are two approaches to safety testing Type testing: A one-off test on a sample of the product. Does not guarantee future product quality CE marking (for inclusion in technical file) CB Scheme (as basis for obtaining international acceptance & certification) Product certification: An ongoing partnership between manufacturer and certification body Initial testing of product Regular factory inspections where the product is made Certification mark permitted on the product Benefits of certification: Market access Consumer confidence Ongoing production quality Marketing advantage TÜV SÜD Product Service Slide 24
25 Submitting for Safety Testing Preparing in Advance: Design Stage Ensure design engineers are aware of safety requirements Seek advice from 3rd parties Enlist a consultant Consider a 3 rd party design review at an early stage of development Highlight any issues with the design Avoid re-design at a later stage Advice on component and material selection TÜV SÜD Product Service Slide 25
