144 Safe torque off function

Start-up including acceptance test

To ensure the safe operation of a safety function, validation is required. The final
assembler of the machine must validate the function by performing an acceptance
test. The acceptance test must be performed
• at initial start-up of the safety function
• after any changes related to the safety function (circuit boards, wiring,
components, settings, etc.)
• after any maintenance work related to the safety function.


Competence

The acceptance test of the safety function must be carried out by a competent person
with adequate expertise and knowledge of the safety function as well as functional
safety, as required by IEC 61508-1 clause 6. The test procedures and report must be
documented and signed by this person.


Acceptance test reports

Signed acceptance test reports must be stored in the logbook of the machine. The
report shall include documentation of start-up activities and test results, references to
failure reports and resolution of failures. Any new acceptance tests performed due to
changes or maintenance shall be logged into the logbook.
