What is ISO/TR 22053 about?
ISO/TR 22053 provides guidance for the design and integration of a safeguarding supportive system (SSS) which is intended to include a mode selection as part of safety-related parts of a control system (SRP/CS) or to add a layer of personnel authentication and authorization to an IMS designed according to ISO 11161. ISO/TR 22053 is meant to be used in conjunction with ISO 11161.
ISO/TR 22053 is applicable to the SSS but does not address personnel qualification and competency.
Who is ISO/TR 22053 for?
ISO/TR 22053 on the SSS in IMS is applicable to various industrial applications where automation systems are used to manufacture products. They are:
- Industrial and production engineering
- Mechanical engineering
- Electronic design automation
Why should you use ISO/TR 22053?
SSS enables a requested mode when the authorization matches the requirements for the task to be performed.
ISO/TR 22053 was developed to provide information about systems incorporating measures that can be introduced into machinery, especially in IMS for reducing risks based on human factors. Due to lack of human attentiveness during any task performed in a hazard zone (for example, inspections, maintenance or set-up), safeguarding supportive systems can be used as a technical measure to minimize the probability of dangerous human errors occurring.
SSS provide the following functions:
- Identification of authorized personnel
- Check that the authorization for the selected task matches with the personnel identified
- Information of the user about the task(s) authorized
- Enabling of the operating mode corresponding to the selected task(s)
- Indication of the zones to be accessed by the authorized personnel
Establishing SSS in compliance with ISO/TR 22053 will enable you to avoid risks and errors, track and improve efficiency and manage tasks more efficiently. Moreover, with the reduction of manual labour and automation of repetitive tasks, you can optimise supply chains and improve overall production
