Minimum requirements
T
he protective device and its application must be thoroughly checked in the following
situations:
•
Before commissioning
•
After changes to the configuration or the safety function

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 accurately reflects the state/condition of the machine, includ‐
ing the protective device.
•
The verified configuration report matches the desired project planning (see "Verify
configuration", page 83).
The thorough checks must be carried out by qualified safety personnel or specially qual‐
ified and authorized personnel, and must be documented in a traceable manner.
Recommended thorough checks
In man
y cases, it makes sense to carry out the following thorough checks during com‐
missioning and in certain situations:
