Does the safety sensor satisfy the required safety level (PL, SIL, category)?
Are the safety-related switching outputs (OSSDs) integrated in the downstream
machine control acc. to the required safety category?
Are switching elements that are controlled by the safety sensor monitored
according to the required safety level (PL, SIL, category) (e.g., contactors
through EDM)?
Are all points of operation near the safety sensor accessible only through the
protective field of the safety sensor?
Are the necessary additional protective devices in the immediate surroundings
(e.g., safety guard) properly mounted and secured against tampering?
If it is possible to be present undetected between the safety sensor and point of
operation: is an assigned start/restart interlock functional?
Is the command device for unlocking the start/restart interlock mounted in such a
way that it cannot be reached from within the danger zone and so that the com
-
plete danger zone can be seen from the installation location?
Has the maximum stopping time of the machine been measured and docu
-
mented?
Is the required safety distance maintained?
Does interruption with a test object intended for this purpose cause the danger
-
ous movement(s) to stop?
Is the safety sensor effective during the entire dangerous movement(s)?
Is the safety sensor effective in all relevant operating modes of the machine?
Is start-up of dangerous movements reliably prevented if the protective field is
interrupted with a test object intended for this purpose?
Was the sensor detection capacity successfully tested (see table 11.2)?
Were distances to reflective surfaces taken into account during configuration and
no reflection bypasses subsequently detected?
Are notices for regular testing of the safety sensor legible to the operator and are
they located in a highly visible location?
Are changes to the safety function (e.g. protective field changeover) not easy to
achieve through tampering?
Are settings that could result in an unsafe state possible only by means of key,
password or tool?
Are there incentives that pose stimulus for tampering?
Were the operators instructed prior to starting work?
