The validation process checks whether the fully equipped machine is safe and complies with the specifications of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. This final checking process verifies conformity with the functional safety standards EN ISO 13849, DIN EN 62061 and EN 61508.
The safety check is preceded by validation planning, during which every danger zone from the risk assessment and safeguard implemented for it are considered. Experienced experts develop a suitable checking strategy for each safeguard. The step-by-step check results in a standardized measurement and test report, which, with its descriptive explanation, becomes the subject of
the machine documentation.
