ReportFor people who work on commissioned production systems:
If FAT/SAT is complete and a later PLC, robot, safety, or configuration change raises the question of whether previous test evidence still applies, who normally owns deciding the re-test scope?
I’m particularly interested in the responsibility side rather than the technical test procedure:
- integrator/commissioning team,
- customer automation,
- quality/validation,
- operations,
- or someone else?
And if there's disagreement about whether the machine is ready to run again, how is that usually resolved in practice?
