Verification and validation
Contents of this chapter
This chapter describes verification and validation of the implemented safety functionality.
Verification and validation produce documented proof of the compliance of the implementation
with specified safety requirements.
For more information, see Technical guide No. 10 - Functional safety (3AUA0000048753
[English]).
Verifying the achieved SIL/PL level
Verification of the functional safety system demonstrates and ensures that the implemented
safety system meets the requirements specified for the system in the safety requirements
specification phase.
The most convenient way to verify the required SIL/PL level reached with the implemented
system is to use a specific safety calculator software.
Safety validation
ï¿ Validation procedure
It is always the responsibility of the machine builder to ensure that the functionality of all the
required safety functions has been appropriately verified and validated.
WARNING!
Until all the safety functionality is validated, the system must not be considered
safe.
The acceptance test must be performed to each safety function.
