This document specifies a methodology for the determination of performance levels required for earth-moving machinery (EMM) as defined in ISO 6165. A machine control system safety analysis (MCSSA) determines the amount of risk reduction of hazards associated with control systems that is required for safety control systems (SCS). This reduction is quantified by the machine performance level (MPL) and the hazards are identified using the risk assessment principles as defined in ISO 12100 or by other means. For those controls determined to be safety-related, the characteristics for architecture, hardware, software environmental requirements and performance are covered by other parts in ISO 19014. The ISO 19014 series covers the significant hazards caused by the failure of a safety control system and excludes hazards arising from the equipment itself (for example, electric shock, fire,). Other controls that are not safety control systems (SCS), that do not mitigate a hazard or perform a control function, and where the operator would be aware of a failure, are excluded from this standard (e.g. windscreen wipers, head lights, cab light,). This document is not applicable to EMM manufactured before the date of its publication
