•
Af
ter changes to the mounting, the alignment or the electrical connection
•
After exceptional events, such as after manipulation has been detected, after
modification of the machine, or after replacing components
The thorough check ensures the following:
•
Compliance with all relevant regulations and effectiveness of the protective device
for all of the machine’s operating modes. This includes the following points:
°
compliance with standards
°
correct use of the protective device
°
suitable configuration and safety function
°
correct alignment
•
The documentation matches the state of the machine, incl. the protective device
•
The verified configuration report corresponds to the desired project planning (see
"Verifying configuration", page 109)
The thorough checks must be carried out by qualified safety personnel or specially
qualified and authorized personnel and must be documented in a traceable manner.
In many cases, other data must be documented, see "Reports", page 110.
Recommended thorough checks
In man
y cases, it makes sense to carry out the following thorough checks during
commissioning and in certain situations:
•
Thorough check of the relevant points on the checklist, see "Checklist for initial
commissioning and commissioning", page 159
•
"Thorough visual check of the machine and the protective device", page 64
•
"Thorough check of the principal function of the protective device", page 62
•
"Thorough check of the area to be protected", page 63
•
"Test of the contour detection field", page 63
•
Make sure that the operating personnel has been instructed in the protective
device’s function before starting work on the machine. The instruction is the
responsibility of the machine operator and must be carried out by qualified per‐
sonnel.
5.5.2 Regular inspection
Overview
T
he purpose of regular tests is to detect defects due to changes or external influences
(e.g. damage or manipulation) and to ensure that the protective measure provides the
necessary protection.
Important information
DANGER
H
azard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
Persons and parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized in case of
non-observance.
b
Carry out tests at least once a year.
b
Assign qualified safety personnel to carry out the tests or persons specifically
authorized for this purpose.
