3.1 Fundamental safety instructions for Safety Integrated
DANGER
Risk minimization through Safety Integrated
Safety Integrated can be used to minimize the level of risk associated with machines and
plants.
Machines or plants, however, can only be operated safely in conjunction with Safety
Integrated if the machine manufacturer
•
is familiar with and observes all aspects of this technical user documentation, including
the documented constraints, safety instructions and residual risks,
• carefully installs and configures the machine or plant and verifies this through an
acceptance test carefully performed and documented by qualified personnel,
• implements and validates all the measures required by the machine or plant risk analysis
based on the programmed and configured Safety Integrated Functions or by other
means.
The deployment of Safety Integrated does not replace the machine or plant risk assessment
by the machine manufacturer as stipulated by the EU Machinery Directive.
In addition to deploying Safety Integrated Functions, further risk reduction measures must
be implemented.
