Appendix B
Checklist to Install Electro-sensitive Protective
Equipment (ESPE)
Checklist for the
Manufacturer and Installer
Details about the points listed in the following checklist must be present at
least during initial commissioning. The points are dependent on the respective
application, the specification of which are to be controlled by the
manufacturer/installer.
IMPORTANT This checklist must be retained and kept with the machine documentation
to serve as reference during 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 fulfill the required PL/SILCL and PFHd according to EN ISO 13 849-1/EN 62 061 and the type according to
EN 61496-1?
Yes □ No □
4. Is the access to the hazardous area/hazardous point only possible through the protective field of the ESPE? Ye s □ No □
5. Have measures been taken to help prevent and monitor unauthorized presence in the hazardous area when hazardous area/
hazardous point protection (mechanical protection) and have these measures been secured against removal?
Yes □ No □
6. Are additional mechanical protective measures fitted and secured against manipulation, which help prevent reaching under, over,
and 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 minimum 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 control switch for resetting the protective device (ESPE) or restarting the machine present and correctly installed? Yes □ No □
12.Are the outputs of the ESPE (OSSDs, ASInterface Safety at Work) integrated in compliance with the required PL/SILCL according to
EN ISO 13 8491/EN 62 061 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, for example, 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 □
IMPORTANT This checklist does not replace the initial commissioning, nor the regular
inspection, by qualified safety personnel.
