13.2 Checklist for the manufacturer
&
Checklist for the manufacturer/OEM for the installation of electro-sensitive
protective equipment (ESPE)
The details on the items listed below must be available at the latest when the system is commissioned for the first
time, depending, however, on the various applications the requirements of which must be reviewed by the manufac-
turer/OEM.
This checklist should be retained and kept with the machine documentation to serve as reference during recurring
tests.
1. Have the safety rules and regulations been observed in compliance with the
directives/standards applicable to the machine?
Yes No
2. Are the applied directives and standards listed in the declaration of conformity? Yes No
3. Does the protective device comply with the required control category? Yes No
4. Is the access to the hazardous area/hazardous point only possible through the protective field
of the ESPE?
Yes No
5. Have appropriate measures been taken to prevent (mechanical point-of-operation guarding)
or monitor unprotected presence in the hazardous area when protecting a hazardous area/
hazardous point and have these been secured against removal?
Yes No
6. Are additional mechanical protective measures fitted and secured against manipulation which
prevent reaching below, above or around the ESPE?
Yes No
7. Has the maximum shutdown and/or stopping time of the machine been measured, specified
and documented (at the machine and/or in the machine documentation)?
Yes No
8. Has the ESPE been mounted such that the required safety distance from the nearest hazardous
point has been achieved?
Yes No
9. Are the ESPE devices properly mounted and secured against manipulation after adjustment? Yes No
10. Are the required protective measures against electric shock in effect (protection class)? Yes No
11. Is the command device for resetting the protective devices (ESPE) or restarting the machine
present and correctly installed?
Yes No
12. Are the outputs of the ESPE (OSSDs) integrated in compliance with the required control category
and does the integration comply with the circuit diagrams?
Yes No
13. Has the protective function been checked in compliance with the test notes of this
documentation?
Yes No
14. Are the given protective functions effective at every setting of the operating mode selector
switch?
Yes No
15. Are the switching elements activated by the ESPE, e.g. contactors, valves, monitored? Yes No
16. Is the ESPE effective over the entire period of the dangerous state? Yes No
17. Once initiated, will a dangerous state be stopped when switching the ESPE on or off and when
changing the operating mode, or when switching to another protective device?
Yes No
18. Has the information label “Important Information” for the daily check been attached so that it is
well visible for the operator?
Yes No
This checklist does not replace the initial commissioning, nor the regular inspection by specialist personnel.
