Brian is correct regarding risk assessment under 61010-1 (and I had to make, and prove, that “point” to my last contract employer – and without doing that, some of their products could never be legitimately certified to the previous edition of that standard) , but, frankly, the same is true (or should be, even if not specifically referenced ) for any safety (and possibly other categories of ) standards.
Thus one needs to consider, and prove compliance with, any likely-relevant standards, and any “not mentioned in the standard” risks that are unique to “your product” , or, otherwise, you may risk some form of legal action if “something goes wrong” and damage /environmental damage / injury /death then ensues – “We never thought that could happen” probably won’t “cut the mustard” if it comes to a court action, and the penalties may then be very severe.

In a note, it lists some Risk Assessment standards, but the most used and current standard is the ISO 12100 which calls out many other standards including the ISO 13849-1. Hope this is helpful.

The system has been checked for EN 61010-1 There is a risk that an hazardous gas release can happen and we have a gas detector for that. The question is that as it is not a Machinery (no moving part) , don’t we need to apply functional safety under EN 13849-1 and confirm the Performance Level of the Safety Control? EN 61010-1 doesn’t refer to functional safety and only list IEC 61508 in bibliography... Thank you for your answers!
