6. Tests
6.1 Testing the FLSC
These tests are required in order to check that the safety devices are functioning correctly and are
properly incorporated into the machine/system control, as well as to reveal any alterations or
manipulations in the system.
The following instructions must be observed to ensure proper use:
Installation and electrical connection by specialist personnel only.
A specialist is a person who, on account of his specialist training and experience, has sufficient
expertise in the field of the power-driven machinery to be tested, and who is sufficiently familiar with
the pertinent legal work-safety regulations, accident-prevention regulations, directives and generally
recognized engineering rules (e.g. DIN standards, VDE specifications, technical rules of other EC
member states) to be able assess the safe condition of the power-driven machinery. These will
generally be specialists employed by the manufacturer of the NCSD, or such persons who have
received appropriate training from the manufacturer of the NCSD, have been primarily concerned with
the testing of NCSDs and are designated by the owner of the NCSD.
