Hello all,
I need to find the best way to map safety equipments (equipments that are critical for safe functioning of the sistem , and who's failure could result in accident) .
What specific features would those have to have to ensure they are properly maintained ?
Do I use specific charachteristic and clasification?
Do I have to use EHS?
Thanks
Dejan

We would normally create an equipment master for these safety equipment, possibly which serial number management.
Then maintenance plans/inspection lots can be created for these equipment as required.
Do you have examples of these safety equipment?

Dejan,
If these equipments are of this kind, then
Calibration process through Calibration Orders on these equipments is inevitable. Here these Safety Equipments are mapped as EQ as you said and then Maintenance Plans are created on these Equipments which trigger periodical Calibration Orders. Here you enter the QM module for MICs (Master Inspection Characteristics) which specify what you inspect during the calibration. Here while processing the Order, UD (Usage Decision) is made by us, declaring the calibrated equipment is Usable or Not. If no these will be subjected to Repairs. If Yes they will be kept as Ready spare. Rest is your own system.

Hi Dejan,
To me, the query seems outside the SAP-PM. The situation explained by you totally hardware related.i.e., the failure of one equipment should be able to prevent the failure of another system. I'm doubtful any software (even EHS) addresses such requirements.
If SAP-PM needs to be involved in this then the equipment readings (Measuring Documents) should be interfaced through connectors to hardware and transmit signals further to other protections of the systems.
Curious too to learn from other responses.

HI Jogeswara
Maybe my formulation was wrong, the thing is that there are some equipments that are defined as safety equipment and their failure would result in a possible accident..
The question was what would be the best way to represent this in a system (naturally trough FL and EQ's but what addtional features or integration points to other modules (possibly EHS) woul it require?
