ISO/TS 15066:2016
Title
Robots and robotic devices -- Collaborative robots
 
Why is this useful?
Ensures appropriate measures are in place to ensure the safety of workers when interacting with collaborative and industrial robots.
Scope

This standard specifies safety requirements for collaborative industrial robot systems and the work environment, and supplements requirements and guidance on collaborative industrial robot operation given in ISO 10218‑1 and ISO 10218‑2.

Title
Robotics -- Safety design for industrial robot systems -- Part 1: End-effectors
 
Why is this useful?
Provide guidelines to ensure the safety of end-effectors for robot systems, as a supplement to ISO 10218-1:2011.
Scope

This part of 20218 provides guidance on safety measures for the design and integration of end-effectors used for robot systems.

The integration includes the following:

  • manufacturing, design and integration of end-effectors;
  • the necessary information for use.

It provides additional safety guidance on the integration of robot systems, as described in ISO 10218.

Title
Robotics -- Safety design for industrial robot systems -- Part 2: Manual load/unload stations
 
Why is this useful?
Provide guidelines for implementing hazardous areas of robot systems and minimising violations.
Scope

This part of 20218 is applicable to robot systems for manual load/unload applications in which a hazard zone is safeguarded by preventing access to it. For this type of application, it is important to consider the need for both access restrictions to hazard zones and for ergonomically suitable work places.

It supplements ISO 10218-2:2011 and provides additional information and guidance on reducing the risk of intrusion into the hazard zones in the design and safeguarding of manual load/unload installations.
