Please also be aware of the requirements and standards relevant to your country, as the
measured values or steps taken during the tests may vary.
Should there be no relevant requirements and standards in your country, Fronius recom-
mends that this test should still be carried out.
The safety inspection must only be carried out on a fully assembled device.
Responsibility
The repair technician is responsible for carrying out and documenting the safety inspection
properly and for making the correct decision regarding the outcome of the inspection. Fro-
