What is a ANSI/ISO 13849/CSA Safety Review?

For Canada and the USA

An ANSI, ISO 13849 and CSA safety review evaluates the design and performance of machine control systems to ensure they meet functional safety standards, reducing risk and supporting compliance with applicable North American and international regulations.

When Should You Consider an ANSI, ISO 13849 or CSA Safety Review?

While not legally mandated like a PHSR, ANSI/ISO 13849 and CSA safety reviews are essential for ensuring your machines meet functional safety standards and align with both North American and international requirements.

You should consider one of these reviews when:

  • Designing safety-related controls: (e.g., interlocks, light curtains, emergency stops)
  • Installing new or modifying equipment: with programmable or standard safety controls
  • Upgrading existing machines: to comply with modern safety standards
  • Preparing for CE marking or exporting machinery to international markets
  • Meeting internal safety policies or satisfying insurer and corporate safety requirements
  • Investigating incidents or near-misses that reveal gaps in functional or control system safety

ANSI, ISO 13849 or CSA Process

For a ANSI, ISO 13849, CSA safety review, send us the equipment info (i.e. serial number, model, photos, mechanical layout, electrical/pneumatic/hydraulic drawings), and and we’ll send you a quote promptly!

Phase 1
(Design Review):

A review of design documentation before equipment construction begins.

Phase 2
(Preliminary Review):

An on-site evaluation at the build shop ahead of shipping the equipment.

Phase 3
(Review at Location):

A last-stage review conducted on-site prior to commissioning the equipment.

The Value of a Safety Review

Employers are aided in hazard identification evaluating severity of hazards and the frequency of exposure that may harm their employees.

The primary purpose of risk assessment is the determination of the required performance level of guarding and safety circuits. This will help prevent accidents that may necessitate OSHA involvement.
