…requiring more specific robotic safety measures. Updates coming to ISO 10218 Carole Franklin There is some work being done to update the current standards. One of the most foundational documents outlining robot safety is ISO 10218, which is broken up into two parts. Part 1 addresses the requirements of robots, and Part 2 addresses integrating robots into a system, Carole Franklin, director of standards development at the Association for Advancing Automation (A3 and formerly the Robotics Industries Association), told Robotics 24/7. The two parts are being updated for the first time since the last version was published in 2011, and…

…accidents and possible collisions. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has developed a series of standards to ensure the safety of industrial robots. The importance of these standards cannot be overstated, as they provide safety and reliability guidelines for robot manufacturers and users. Also, the Robotics Industries Association (RIA, now the Association for Advancing Automation or A3) has developed a set of safety guidelines that provide comprehensive recommendations for the safe design and operation of robotics systems. “It's better to design in safety from the start, rather than try to tack on safety features to an otherwise-completed design, or worse,…
