7.5 SAFETY DEVICE TESTING
Systematic and thorough tests of the operating and safety devices should be performed to
ensure that they are operating as designed. Certain code requirements, such as ASME CSD-1,
require that these tests be performed on a scheduled basis. Test schedules must conform to
local jurisdictions. The results of the tests should be recorded in a log book. See Chapter 6-
Safety Device Testing Procedures.
