Moshe,
If you are having safety related problems at the test site I
would recommend that be your first priority not documentation catch up.
You may want to try taking an ESD gun to you customer site and run ESD
tests on the cables to start with. Try taping a conductor along each
cable. Ground one end to the ESD gun and discharge to the other. Use a
meter or so of cable. That should show you any cable weaknesses.
Next I would kick up the ESD levels at all the other ports and
see what's happening. But foremost if you are having trouble in the
field I think you need to jump on that immediately. Somebody gets hurt
and the only doucmentation you need is a check to the injured party.
Just an opinion, mind you.

Subject: machinery directive related questions
Hello Everyone,
here are 2 questions:
1. Is Risk/hazard Analysis required as part of formal
documentation (TCF?). Which standard
defines the format of the analysis?
2. The machine complies with ESD (up to 8KV) immunity, but still
I have safety related
incidents at customer sites, which are obviously related to ESD
(they are simulated at
10KV). What are my options? Should I do nothing? Should I fix
the design (up to ?KV)? Should
I just document the issue, require antistatic
carpets/humidifiers etc from the user?
Thanks in advance
Moshe
