What’s Included in Our Machine Safeguarding Evaluations

Our machine safeguarding evaluations provide a thorough assessment of your equipment, ensuring it meets all safety requirements. Here’s what’s included:

Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment

We identify hazards, quantify associated risks, assign corrective measures, and determine required Performance Levels. Our detailed assessments cover every aspect of your machinery to ensure all potential risks are addressed.

Defining Safety Functional Requirements

Based on the risk assessment, we detail the functional requirements necessary to mitigate risks to a negligible level and specify the overall safety rating of the system. This ensures every safety measure is precisely defined and implemented.

System Design and Verification

We use information from the Safety Functional Requirements document to design and verify the system, ensuring the achieved Performance Level meets the required PLr (Performance Level Required). This guarantees that the system's design is robust and reliable.

Installation and Functional Validation

The system is installed, and each safety function is validated to ensure proper installation and correct functionality. Our meticulous validation process confirms that all safety features operate as intended.
