SYNTAVER · Machine safety & complianceWhen this solution makes sense
Signals we look for on site.
Legal roles, modification scope and obligations are clarified early. Formal assessments requiring specific qualifications can be carried out with specialised partners.
Uncontrolled access or incomplete guarding
Access to hazardous zones without clearly defined guarding, interlocking or intervention mode.
Emergency stops or interlocks to be revised
Emergency stops, doors, scanners, light curtains or safety logic no longer aligned with real use.
Modification of an existing machine
Mechanical, electrical or software modification that may create or change risks.
Addition of a robot, cobot or conveyor
New movement area, operator interface or product flow to integrate with an existing system.
Incomplete technical documentation
Drawings, risk assessment, safety schematics or modification history are incomplete.
Typical scope
What the project can include.
Risk identification and safety functions
Sensor / actuator / safety logic architecture
Mechanical and electrical coordination
Functional checks and testing
Documentation update for the modified scope
Coordination with qualified partners when required
Technical depth

These items do not replace a site survey; they show the level of detail used to scope a pre-study.
01Data to collect+
- Run, setup, cleaning and maintenance modes
- Hazardous energies and movements
- Operator access and foreseeable interventions
- Existing documentation and modification history
02Possible building blocks+
- Fixed / movable guards
- Interlocks, scanners, light curtains
- Safety PLC / safety relays
- STO, emergency stop, modes and reset
03Useful deliverables+
- Risk assessment related to scope
- Safety function list
- Architecture and related schematics
- Verification / validation plan and documentation update
04Technical references+
- ISO 12100 — risk assessment and risk reduction
- ISO 13849-1:2023 — safety-related parts of control systems
- IEC 60204-1 — electrical equipment of machines
- Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 and applicable Type-C standards depending on scope
Method
Three scoping steps before integration.
The objective is to reduce grey zones before placing orders or starting on-site work.
1. Identify risks
Access points, modes, energies, operator interventions and retrofit impact.
2. Define the safety architecture
Sensors, actuators, logic, emergency stops and restart conditions.
3. Verify and document
Functional tests, markings, schematics and file updates.
Related use case
