15 Checklist
This checklist is intended to provide assistance during initial start-up. It does not eliminate the need for testing before
initial start-up, or for periodic tests conducted by appropriately trained persons.
1. Standards and Directives, ESPE Selection
Are the safety precautions based upon the directives/standards which are
applicable for the machine?
Yes
No
Are the utilized directives and standards listed in the declaration of conformity?
Yes
No
Is the safety device in compliance with the required safety level?
Yes
No
2. Safety Clearance
Has safety clearance been calculated in accordance with the valid formulas for securing
points of danger, and in consideration of resolution, ESPE response time, response time
of any utilized safety interface and machine over-travel time?
Yes
No
Has machine over-travel time been measured, specified, documented (at the machine
and/or in the machine’s documentation) and adapted to the ESPE installation setup.
Yes
No
Has the safety clearance between the point of danger and the safety field been adhered
to?
Yes
No
3. Access to the Point of Danger
Is it only possible to access the point of danger via the ESPE’s safety field?
Yes
No
Is it assured that persons are unable to remain within the danger zone unprotected (e.g.
by means of mechanical protection against side-stepping, or by means of cascading),
and are the implemented measures protected against manipulation?
Yes
No
Have additional mechanical protective measures been installed which prevent reaching
under, over or around the safety field, and are they protected against manipulation?
Yes
No
4. Installation
Have the components of the ESPE been correctly attached and secured against
loosening, shifting and rotation after adjustment?
Yes
No
Is the external condition of the ESPE and all associated accessories flawless?
Yes
No
Has the control device for resetting the ESPE been correctly installed outside of the
danger zone, and is it functional?
Yes
No
5. Incorporation into the Machine
Have the safety outputs (OSSDs) been incorporated into the downstream machine
controls in accordance with the required controller category, and have they been
connected in accordance with the wiring diagrams?
Yes
No
Are the switching elements which are controlled by the ESPE (e.g. contactors, valves)
monitored?
Yes
No
6. Functionality
Is the ESPE effective during the entire duration of the machine’s hazardous motion?
Yes
No
If a hazardous state has been initialized, is it stopped when the ESPE is switched off, if
the operating mode or any of the function types are changed, or if switching to another
safety device occurs?
Yes
No
Are the specified safety functions effective for each and every configuration?
Yes
No
Has the safety function been tested in accordance with the inspection instructions inclu-
ded in the operating instructions?
Yes
No
