Testing plan
The safety system must be thoroughly checked by appropriately qualified safety person‐
nel during commissioning, after changes at regular intervals.
The regular thorough checks serve to ensure the effectiveness of the safety system and
to identify defects as a result of changes or other influences (e.g., damage or manipula‐
tion).
The manufacturer and user must define the type and frequency of the thorough checks
on the basis of the application conditions and the risk assessment. Determination of
the thorough checks must be documented in a traceable manner.
•
A thorough check must be carried out during commissioning and following modifi‐
cations.
•
The regular thorough checks of the safety system must fulfill certain minimum
requirements. The minimum requirements for the thorough check of the safety
system comply at least with the sum of the minimum requirements for the thor‐
ough check of the components of the safety system (see operating instructions of
the components).
•
In many cases, depending on the application conditions, the risk assessment can
determine that further thorough checks are required.
