Trial Operation
Trial operation entails the final testing phase for systems and machinery and is therefore the full responsibility of the manufacturer. It takes place as part of the manufacturing process before the plant is put into operation.
During this phase, SH² assigns responsibility to a trial operations manager and agrees with all those involved on the trial operation strategy. We ensure that all testing of the machinery and systems prior to the trial run, such as stability, power supplies, operational readiness of safety installations, correct operation of the drive control, measures for prevention of electric shock, etc., have been completed. We also assess hazards and risks, especially in overlapping and interlinked areas.
