6.2.2 Verification Compliance with the requirements shall be verified by inspection and testing of the starting systems. 6.3 Stopping 6.3.1 Requirements 6.3.1.1 Normal stopping All generating sets shall have a normal stopping device which can be manually or automatically actuated. Stopping controls shall remain in the stop position when operated. This shall operate by a device ensuring the cutting off of the fuel or the ignition (for spark ignition engines) supply. This device may include an air supply cut-off. 6.3.1.2 Stopping in case of failure Generating sets except low power generating sets shall be provided with an automatically actuated stopping device in case of failure.
This device shall monitor one or more signals of the generating set and if these signals are out of the allowable range it triggers the automatic stop. The main signals that might be used to actuate automatic stopping are e.g. a) for the RIC engine: 1) overspeed (see ISO 3046-6); 2) low lubricating oil pressure; SIST EN 12601:2011
EN 12601:2010 (E) 10 3) high coolant temperature; 4) low coolant level; b) for the generator: 1) excessive overvoltage; 2) overload. Which of these or other measures should be specified depends on the application. 6.3.2 Verification Normal stopping shall be verified by inspection and testing of the stopping device in manual and in automatic modes (if provided in the application). Automatic stopping in case of failure shall be verified by testing the action of typical failure modes in operating conditions (an appropriate method shall be used to create typical failure conditions, e.g. manual triggering, short-circuiting of contacts). 6.4 Emergency stopping 6.4.1 Requirement Emergency stopping devices are required for remote controlled generating sets and generating sets with an enclosure or container accessible by persons. An emergency stopping device is not required for low power generating sets. Emergency stopping devices shall be actuated manually. As for normal stopping, emergency stopping shall operate by a device ensuring the cutting off of the fuel supply or ignition (for spark ignition engines). This device may include an air supply cut-off. Emergency stopping devices shall also meet the requirements of EN ISO 13850:2008, category 0, and the reset shall not initiate a restart or any hazardous conditions. Manually actuated emergency stopping devices shall be located inside and outside the enclosure or container in which a generating set is located and which is accessible for personnel to carry out maintenance or control operations when generating sets are in operation. 6.4.2 Verification Emergency stopping devices shall be verified by inspection and testing in operating conditions. 6.5 Control devices

FprEN 12601:2010 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the safety requirements for reciprocating internal combustion (RIC) engine driven generating sets up to 1000 V consisting of a RIC engine, an alternating current (a.c.) generator including the additional equipment required for operating, e.g. controlgear, switchgear, auxiliary equipment.
This European Standard is not applicable for generating sets which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN. It applies to generating sets for land and marine use, excluding generating sets used on board of seagoing vessels and mobile offshore units as well as on aircraft or to propel road vehicles and locomotives. The special requirements needed to cover operation in potentially explosive atmospheres are not covered in this standard. The hazards relevant to RIC engine driven generating sets are identified in Annex A. 2 Normative References The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

FprEN 12601:2010 (E) 9 6 Safety Requirements 6.1 General Machinery shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of this clause. In addition, the machine shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100 for relevant but not significant hazards, which are not dealt with by this document. 6.2 Starting system 6.2.1 Requirements Starting systems shall meet the requirements of 6.1 of EN 1679-1:1998.
6.2.2 Verification Compliance with the requirements shall be verified by inspection and testing of the starting systems. 6.3 Stopping 6.3.1 Requirements 6.3.1.1 Normal stopping All generating sets shall have a normal stopping device which can be manually or automatically actuated. Stopping controls shall remain in the stop position when operated. This shall operate by a device ensuring the cutting off of the fuel or the ignition (for spark ignition engines) supply. This device may include an air supply cut-off. 6.3.1.2 Stopping in case of failure Generating sets except low power generating sets shall be provided with an automatically actuated stopping device in case of failure.
This device shall monitor one or more signals of the generating set and if these signals are out of the allowable range it triggers the automatic stop. The main signals that might be used to actuate automatic stopping are e.g. a) for the RIC engine: overspeed (see ISO 3046-6:1990); low lubricating oil pressure; high coolant temperature; low coolant level; b) for the generator: excessive overvoltage; earth-fault current. kSIST FprEN 12601:2010
FprEN 12601:2010 (E) 10 Which of these or other measures should be specified depends on the application. 6.3.2 Verification Normal stopping shall be verified by inspection and testing of the stopping device in manual and in automatic modes (if provided in the application). Automatic stopping in case of failure shall be verified by testing the action of typical failure modes in operating conditions (an appropriate method shall be used to create typical failure conditions, e.g. manual triggering, short-circuiting of contacts). 6.4 Emergency stopping 6.4.1 Requirement Emergency stopping devices are required for remote controlled generating sets and generating sets with an enclosure or container accessible by persons. An emergency stopping device is not required for low power generating sets. Emergency stopping devices shall be actuated manually. As for normal stopping, emergency stopping shall operate by a device ensuring the cutting off of the fuel supply or ignition (for spark ignition engines). This device may include an air supply cut-off. Emergency stopping devices shall also meet the requirements of EN ISO 13850:2008, category 0, and the reset shall not initiate a restart or any hazardous conditions. Manually actuated emergency stopping devices shall be located inside and outside the enclosure or container in which a generating set is located and which is accessible for personnel to carry out maintenance or control operations when generating sets are in operation. 6.4.2 Verification Emergency stopping devices shall be verified by inspection and testing in operating conditions. 6.5 Control devices
6.5.1 Design, safety and mechanical strength 6.5.1.1 Requirement Control devices for the RIC engine of the generating set shall meet the following requirements: hand controls shall be designed to withstand 1,2 times the maximum actuating forces given in table 1 of EN 1679-1:1998; controls shall act positively and smoothly and without delay or unexpected action and be in accordance with ISO 2261:1994; the surface temperature of the controls that have to be manually actuated while the engine is running shall be within the limits specified in EN ISO 13732-1:2008 for a contact time of 10 s; sharp edges or corners on, or adjacent to manual controls shall be removed. Edges shall have a chamfer of at least 0,5 mm. Control devices on electrical equipment of the generating set shall comply with EN 60204-1:2006, subclause 10.1 and subclause 10.2 with the exception as given in B.10. kSIST FprEN 12601:2010
