An F system is usually accepted by an independent expert.

SIMATIC Manager. This enables you to:

Safety Note – Archive STEP 7 Projects
Version management must be available for the purpose of archiving the S7 F/FH
Systems project. Apart from that, we recommend you archive each accepted
project in STEP 7 and create a new project for changes.
When the system is accepted, all requirements contained in the report on the
certificate that require approval must be taken into account.
You can archive all data relevant to the acceptance of the F-System in SIMATIC
Manager (File > Archive) and print it out, as required.

You can find the following check lists in the appendix. These can be used when
you accept S7 F/FH Systems:

a summary of the activities in the life cycle of S7 F/FH Systems, as well as
references to the requirements and rules that must be complied with.
