A09 Notes for the operating company
The operating company is any natural or legal entity that uses the SBU IO-Link or on whose behalf the
SBU IO-Link is used.
The operating company is thus the entity responsible for safety.
The operating company or its authorised representative must ensure:
that all relevant regulations, instructions and laws for the avoidance of accidents and for operational
readiness are complied with.
that, following the installation and connection of the SBU IO-Link , the complete SBU IO-Link
conforms to the relevant directives and that the SBU IO-Link conformity for the complex SBU IO-
Link is established.
that the necessary protective devices are installed in conjunction with the on-site SBU IO-Link .
that only qualified personnel work on and with the SBU IO-Link .
that the personnel have the operating instructions at their disposal during all corresponding work
and adhere to them.
that unqualified personnel are forbidden to work on and with the SBU IO-Link .
that the necessary accident prevention and safety regulations are adhered to during the assembly
or maintenance work on the SBU IO-Link .
The operating instructions are to be supplemented by the operating company on account of national
regulations for accident prevention and environmental protection, including information on supervising and
reporting duties for taking into account special operational conditions, e.g. with regard to work organisation,
work processes and the assigned personnel.
In addition to the operating instructions and the mandatory accident prevention regulations applicable in the
user's country and at the place of use, the recognised technical rules and/or state of the art for occupational
health and safety are to be complied with.
