Start-up and use

Contents of this chapter

This chapter contains the start-up and acceptance test procedure for the Safe torque off
function and gives instructions for its use.

Start-up and 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.
