Acc. to IEC62046 and national regulations (e.g. EU directive2009/104/EC), tests are to be performed by
competent persons in the following situations:
• Prior to initial commissioning
• Following modifications to the machine
• After longer machine downtime
• Following retrofitting or new configuration of the machine
Ä As preparation, check the most important criteria for the safety sensor according to the following check-
list (see chapter 11.1.1 "Checklist for integrator – to be performed prior to the initial start-up and follow-
