Function test, validation
Note
The STO function must be validated after the installation and after changes to the
installation.
This validation must be documented by the person performing commissioning. To assist
you with the commissioning, questions for risk minimisation are summarised below in
the form of sample checklists.
The checklists below are no substitute for safety training.
No guarantee can be provided for the completeness of the checklist.
No.
