Checklist for the Manufacturer

Checklist for the manufacturer/OEM for the installation of electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE)

The details on the items listed below must be available at the latest when the system is commissioned for the first time, depending,
however, on the various applications the requirements of which must be reviewed by the manufacturer/OEM.

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 control category?

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

below, above or around the ESPE?

Yes

No

7. Has the maximum shutdown and/or stopping 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 properly 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 command device for resetting the protective devices (ESPE) or restarting the machine present and correctly

installed?

Yes

No

12. Are the outputs of the ESPE (OSSDs) integrated in compliance with the required control category 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 “Important Information” for the daily check been attached so that it is well visible for

the operator?

Yes

No

This checklist does not replace the initial commissioning, nor the regular inspection by specialist personnel.
