16.3 Checklist for initial commissioning and commissioning
Checklist for manufacturers or installers for installing electro-sensitive protective
de
vice (ESPE)
The details relating to the items listed below must be available no later than when the
system is commissioned for the first time. However, these depend on the specific appli‐
cation (the requirements of which must be reviewed by the manufacturer or installer).
This checklist should be retained and kept with the machine documentation to serve as
reference during recurring tests.
This checklist does not replace the initial commissioning, nor the regular inspection by
qualified safety personnel.
Have the safety rules and regulations been observed in compliance with the
dir
ectives and standards applicable to the machine?
Yes No
Are the applied directives and standards listed in the declaration of conformity? Yes N
o
Does the protective device comply with the required PL/SIL claim limit and
P
FHd in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1/EN 62061 and the required type in
accordance with EN 61496-1?
Yes No
Is access to the hazardous area or hazardous point only possible through the
protective field of the ESPE?
Yes No
Have appropriate measures been taken to protect (mechanical protection) or
monit
or (protective devices) any persons or objects in the hazardous area when
protecting a hazardous area or hazardous point, and have these devices been
secured or locked to prevent their removal?
Yes No
Are additional mechanical protective measures fitted and secured against
manipulation which prevent reaching below, above or around the ESPE?
Yes No
Has the maximum shutdown and/or stopping time of the machine been mea‐
sur
ed, specified and documented (at the machine and/or in the machine docu‐
mentation)?
Yes No
Has the ESPE been mounted such that the required minimum distance from the
nearest hazardous point has been achieved?
Yes No
Are the ESPE devices properly mounted and secured against manipulation after
adjustment?
Yes No
Are the required protective measures against electric shock in effect (protection
c
lass)?
Yes No
Is the control switch for resetting the protective devices (ESPE) or restarting the
machine present and correctly installed?
Yes No
Are the outputs of the ESPE (OSSDs or safety outputs via the network)
integrated according to the required PL/SILCL in accordance with EN ISO
13849-1/EN 62061 and does the integration correspond to the circuit dia‐
grams?
Yes No
Has the protective function been checked in compliance with the test notes of
t
his documentation?
Yes No
Are the specified protective functions effective at every operating mode that can
be set?
Yes No
Are the switching elements activated by the ESPE, e.g. contactors, valves, moni‐
t
ored?
Yes No
Is the ESPE effective over the entire period of the dangerous state? Yes No
Once initiated, will a dangerous state be stopped when switching the ESPE on
or of
f and when changing the operating mode, or when switching to another
protective device?
Yes No
