11.2 To be performed periodically by competent persons
The reliable interaction of safety sensor and machine must be periodically tested by competent persons in
order to detect changes to the machine or impermissible tampering with the safety sensor.
Acc. to IEC/TS 62046 and national regulations (e.g., EU directive 2009/104/EC), tests of elements which
are subject to wear must be performed by competent persons at regular intervals. Testing intervals may be
regulated by nationally applicable regulations (recommendation acc. to IEC/TS62046: 6months).
Ä Have all tests performed by competent persons.
Ä Observe the nationally applicable regulations and the time periods specified therein.
Ä As preparation, observe the checklist (see chapter 11.1 "Before the initial start-up and following modifi-
cations").
11.3 Periodically by the operator
The function of the safety sensor must be checked regularly (e.g., daily, on shift change, monthly or in an
even longer cycle) according to the following checklist. The frequency of the checks is determined by
means of the risk analysis performed by the operating company.
Due to complex machines and processes, it may be necessary under certain circumstances to check some
points at longer time intervals. Observe the classification in "Test at least" and "Test when possible".
WARNING
Unpredictable machine behavior during the test may result in serious injury!
Ä Make certain that there are no people in the danger zone.
Ä Before they begin work, train the operators on their respective tasks and provide suitable
test objects and an appropriate test instruction.
