Industrial robots and robot systems

ISO 10218-1:2011 - Robots and robotic devices - Safety requirements for industrial robots - Part 1: Robots

Scope

This part of ISO 10218 specifies requirements and guidelines for the inherent safe design, protective measures and information for use of industrial robots. It describes basic hazards associated with robots and provides requirements to eliminate, or adequately reduce, the risks associated with these hazards.

This part of ISO 10218 does not address the robot as a complete machine. Noise emission is generally not considered a significant hazard of the robot alone, and consequently noise is excluded from the scope of this part of ISO 10218.

This part of ISO 10218 does not apply to non-industrial robots, although the safety principles established in ISO 10218 can be utilized for these other robots.

NOTE 1 - Examples of non-industrial robot applications include, but are not limited to, undersea, military and space robots, tele-operated manipulators, prosthetics and other aids for the physically impaired, micro-robots (displacement less than 1 mm), surgery or healthcare, and service or consumer products.

NOTE 2 - Requirements for robot systems, integration, and installation are covered in ISO 10218-2.

NOTE 3 - Additional hazards can be created by specific applications (e.g. welding, laser cutting, machining). These system-related hazards need to be considered during robot design.

1DV Modify Clause 1 by adding the following:

Within this Standard, where IEC 60204-1 is referenced, NFPA 79 will be considered to meet the intent of IEC 60204-1.

Within this Standard, wherever the Canadian deviations specify Part 1 or Part 2, they are referring to the adopted ISO 10218-1 and ISO 10218-2 Standards, respectively.

ISO 10218-2:2011 - Robots and robotic devices - Safety requirements for industrial robots - Part 2: Robot systems and integration

Scope

This part of ISO 10218 specifies safety requirements for the integration of industrial robots and industrial robot systems as defined in ISO 10218-1, and industrial robot cell(s).

The integration includes the following:

a) the design, manufacturing, installation, operation, maintenance and decommissioning of the industrial robot system or cell;

b) necessary information for the design, manufacturing, installation, operation, maintenance and decommissioning of the industrial robot system or cell;

c) component devices of the industrial robot system or cell.

This part of ISO 10218 describes the basic hazards and hazardous situations identified with these systems, and provides requirements to eliminate or adequately reduce the risks associated with these hazards. Although noise has been identified to be a significant hazard with industrial robot systems, it is not considered in this part of ISO 10218. This part of ISO 10218 also specifies requirements for the industrial robot system as part of an integrated manufacturing system. This part of ISO 10218 does not deal specifically with hazards associated with processes (e.g. laser radiation, ejected chips, welding smoke). Other standards can be applicable to these process hazards.

1DV Modify Clause 1 by adding the following:

Within this Standard, wherever the Canadian deviations specify Part 1 or Part 2, they are referring to the adopted ISO 10218-1 and ISO 10218-2 Standards, respectively.
