05 VERIFICATION – 
PUTTING SAFETY TO THE TEST

Verification is a critical step in the CE process to ensure that all implemented protective measures and safety functions meet the defined requirements. This step systematically checks whether the required Performance Level (PLr) is achieved and whether safety-related software has been correctly implemented.

With Wieland by your side, you benefit from compliant testing methods and standardized tools like SISTEMA to carry out verification efficiently and precisely. This lays the foundation for safe and legally compliant machine operation.

Goal:

Check the correct implementation of technical protective measures and compliance with the required Performance Level in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1.

Description:

During the verification phase, it is confirmed that all technical safety measures have been correctly implemented and meet the defined requirements. Our experts ensure that the achieved Performance Level matches what was specified in the safety concept and that all functions operate reliably.

Target Audience:

  • Safety Engineers: Conduct verification tests and evaluate safety functions.
     
  • CE Coordinators: Document verification results for the CE Declaration of Conformity.
     
  • Designers/Engineers: Support improvements to protective measures if required.

⚙️ CHALLENGES & COMMON ISSUES

  • Lack of Transparency in PL Verification:
    Verifying that the required Performance Level (PLr) is achieved requires a detailed check of all protective measures. Often, there is a lack of clear processes or appropriate testing methods, leading to uncertainties and errors.
     
  • Complexity of Software Verification:
    Systematically checking safety-related software is challenging for many companies. Without proper tools or experience, implementation errors often go undetected, compromising safety.
     
  • Efficiency and Compliance:
    Standardized tools like SISTEMA are not always in use. Without them, the process becomes time-consuming and prone to error, making compliance with relevant standards more difficult.
