International: ISO and IEC standards February 2026

With the new ISO/DIS 13849-2:2026, proven safety principles and their application over the entire machine life cycle are coming into focus: now is the right time to actively help shape the standard

ISO/DIS 13849-2:2026

"Safety of machinery - Safety-related parts of control systems Part 2: Application of principles for the design and validation"

Due to the new edition of ISO 13849-1:2023, ISO 13849-2:2012 must be revised. ISO has now published the "Draft International Standard (DIS)" ISO/DIS 13849-2:2026. Among other things, the DIS contains a definition for proven safety principles in which important life cycle phase of a machine (design of components, design of subsystems, use of the machine) special care is required to fulfill them.

For companies that see standardization as a strategic instrument, it makes sense to get actively involved in the commenting phase as early as the drafting phase of standards. The standardization institutes provide the drafting portals free of charge for this purpose. Since the national DIN draft is already available for this DIS (DIN EN ISO 13849-2:2026-03), it is essential to make use of it.
