Performance test, validation

Please note
The safety functions must be validated after installation and after each change to the
installation.
This validation must be documented by the person performing commissioning. To assist
you with the commissioning, questions for risk reduction are summarised below in the
form of checklists.
The checklists below are no substitute for safety training.
No guarantee can be provided for the completeness of the checklist.
No. Questions
1. Were all operating conditions and interventions taken into
account?
2. Has the "3-step method" for risk reduction been applied, i. e.
1. Inherently safe engineering design, 2. Technical and pos­
sibly additional safeguarding, 3. User information about the
residual risk?
3. Were the hazards eliminated or the hazard risk reduced as
far as practically possible?
4. Can it be guaranteed that the implemented measures will not
pose new hazards?
5. Have the users been adequately informed and warned about
the residual risks?
6. Can it be guaranteed that the operators' working conditions
have not deteriorated due to the safeguarding undertaken?
7. Is the safeguarding mutually compatible?
8. Was adequate consideration given to the potential con­
sequences of using a machine designed for commercial/in­
dustrial purposes in a non-commercial/industrial area?
9. Can it be guaranteed that the implemented measures will not
severely impair the machine's ability to perform its function?
