Contents of this chapter
This chapter describes the start-up, validation test procedure, and validation of the safety
function.
Validation of the safety functions
You must do a validation test to validate the correct operation of safety functions.
￭ Competence
The person who does the validation test of the safety function must be a competent person
with expertise and knowledge of the safety function and functional safety, as required by
IEC 61508-1 clause 6. This person must document and sign the test procedures and report.
￭ Validation procedure
You must validate the general settings of the FSO module and the safety encoder before
you validate the safety function. See the FSO module user's manual, chapter Verification
and validation.
You must do the validation test using the checklist given in this manual:
• at the initial start-up of the safety function
• after changes related to the safety function (wiring, components, safety function -related
parameter settings, etc.)
• after maintenance work related to the safety function.
The validation test must include at least the following steps:
• you must have a validation test plan
• you must test all commissioned functions for proper operation, from each operation
location
