9 Checkout Procedures
This section lists the schedule of checkout procedures and describes where each procedure is documented. Checkouts must
be performed as described. Results should be recorded and kept in the appropriate place (for example, near the machine,
and/or in a technical file).
Banner Engineering highly recommends performing the System checkouts as described. However, a Qualified Person (or
team) should evaluate these generic recommendations considering their specific application and determine the appropriate
frequency of checkouts. This will generally be determined by a risk assessment, such as the one contained in ANSI B11.0.
The result of the risk assessment will drive the frequency and content of the periodic checkout procedures and must be
followed.
