Manufacturer’s checklist
Checklist for the manufacturer/installer for the installation of electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE)
Details about the points listed below must be present at least during initial commissioning — they are, however,
dependent on the respective application, the specifications of which are to be controlled by the manufacturer/installer.
This checklist should be retained and kept with the machine documentation to serve as reference during recurring
tests.
1.
Have the safety rules and regulations been observed in compliance with the
directives/standards applicable to the machine?
Yes
No
2.
Are the applied directives and standards listed in the declaration of conformity?
Yes
No
3.
Does the protective device comply with the required category according to EN ISO 13849-1?
Yes
No
4.
Is the access to the hazardous area/hazardous point only possible through the protective field of
the ESPE?
Yes
No
5.
Have appropriate measures been taken to prevent (mechanical point-of-operation guarding) or
monitor unprotected presence in the hazardous area when protecting a hazardous
area/hazardous point and have these been secured against removal?
Yes
No
6.
Are additional mechanical protective measures fitted and secured against manipulation, which
prevent reaching under, over or around the ESPE?
Yes
No
7.
Has the maximum stopping and/or stopping/run-down time of the machine been measured,
specified and documented (at the machine and/or in the machine documentation)?
Yes
No
8.
Has the ESPE been mounted such that the required safety distance from the nearest hazardous
point has been achieved?
Yes
No
9.
Are the ESPE devices correctly mounted and secured against manipulation after adjustment?
Yes
No
10.
Are the required protective measures against electric shock in effect (protection class)?
Yes
No
11.
Is the control switch for resetting the protective equipment (ESPE) or restarting the machine
present and correctly installed?
Yes
No
12.
Are the outputs of the ESPE (OSSD’s) integrated in compliance with the required category
according to EN ISO 13849-1 and does the integration comply with the circuit diagrams?
Yes
No
13.
Has the protective function been checked in compliance with the test notes of this
documentation?
Yes
No
14.
Are the given protective functions effective at every setting of the operating mode selector
switch?
Yes
No
15.
Are the switching elements activated by the ESPE, e.g. contactors, valves, monitored?
Yes
No
16.
Is the ESPE effective over the entire period of the dangerous state?
Yes
No
17.
Once initiated, will a dangerous state be stopped when switching the ESPE on or off and when
changing the operating mode, or when switching to another protective device?
Yes
No
18.
Has the information label for the daily check been attached so that it is easily visible for the
operator?
Yes
No
This checklist does not replace the initial commissioning, nor the regular inspection by specialist personnel.
