ENISO12100:2010, ENISO13849‑1:2015, EN62061:2005+A1:2012). The result of the risk assessment
determines the required safety level of the safety sensor (see chapter 14.1 "Safety-relevant technical
data").

dards, regulations, rules and directives must be observed. Relevant and supplied documents must be ob-
