  In­ter­lock sys­tems are a crit­i­cal part for the ma­chine pro­tec­tion of lin­ear col­lid­ers. Their goal is to in­hibit the next pulse ei­ther on fail­ure of crit­i­cal equip­ment and/or on low beam qual­ity eval­u­a­tion. This paper pre­sents the on-go­ing process to val­i­date de­sign choices for the Com­pact Lin­ear Col­lider (CLIC) in­ter­lock sys­tems. The de­sign process starts by es­tab­lish­ing re­quire­ments. In mis­sion-crit­i­cal sys­tem case, they are mainly fo­cused on the de­pend­abil­ity. More­over, the new con­cept of fast beam qual­ity analy­sis has been in­tro­duced into the CLIC in­ter­lock sys­tem and will be dis­cussed in this paper. To sup­port the de­sign process, ex­per­i­men­ta­tion on this con­cept has been launched. In ad­di­tion, a hard­ware demon­stra­tion of the in­ter­lock sys­tems has been set-up. It al­lows val­i­dat­ing the de­sign in con­cor­dance with the re­quire­ments.
