This document specifies requirements for the inherently safe design, risk reduction measures and information for use of robots for an industrial environment.
This document addresses the robot as an incomplete machine.
This document is not applicable to the following uses and products:

— underwater;

— law enforcement;
— military (defence);
— airborne and space robots, including outer space;
— medical robots;
— healthcare robots;
— prosthetics and other aids for the physically impaired;
— service robots, which provide a service to a person and as such where the public can have access;
— consumer products, as this is household use to which the public can have access;
— lifting or transporting people.

NOTE 1 Requirements for robot integration and robot applications are covered in ISO 10218-2:2025.

NOTE 2 Additional hazards can be created by robot applications (e.g. welding, laser cutting, machining). These hazards are addressed during robot application design. See ISO 10218-2:2025.

This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events when used as intended and under specified conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
This document does not cover the hazards related to:

— severe conditions (e.g. extreme climates, freezer use, strong magnetic fields) outside of manufacturer’s specifications;

— underground use;
— use that has hygienic requirements;

— mobility when robots or manipulators are fixed to or part of driverless industrial trucks;
— mobility when robots or manipulators are fixed to or part of mobile platforms;
— use in environments with ionizing and non-ionizing radiation levels;
— hazardous ionizing and non-ionizing radiation;
— handling loads the nature of which can lead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metals, acids/bases, radiating materials);
— handling or lifting or transporting people;
— when the public, all ages or non-working adults have access (e.g. service robots, consumer products).
Noise emission is generally not considered a significant hazard of the robot alone, and consequently noise is excluded from the scope of this document.
This document is not applicable to robots that are manufactured before the date of its publication.
 
This document specifies requirements for the integration of industrial robot applications and industrial robot cells. The following are addressed:

— the design, integration, commissioning, operation, maintenance, decommissioning and disposal;

— military (defence);
— airborne and space, including outer space;
— medical;
— healthcare of a person;
— prosthetics and other aids for the physically impaired;
— service robots, which provide a service to a person and as such the public can have access;
— consumer products, as this is household use to which the public can have access;
— lifting or transporting people;
— multi-purpose lifting devices or machinery, e.g. cranes, forklift trucks.

NOTE Applications for the automation of laboratories are not considered as medical or healthcare of a person.

This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events when used as intended and under specified conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the integrator.
This document provides basic requirements for industrial robot applications, but does not cover the hazards related to the following:

— emission of airborne noise;

— severe conditions (e.g. extreme climates, freezer use, strong magnetic fields) outside of manufacturer’s specifications;
— underground use;
— use that has hygienic requirements;
— processing of any material (e.g. food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, metal);
— use in nuclear environments;
— use in potentially explosive environments;
— mobility when robots or manipulators are integrated with driverless industrial trucks;
— mobility when robots or manipulators are integrated with mobile platforms;
— use in environments with hazardous ionizing and non-ionizing radiation levels;
— hazardous ionizing and non-ionizing radiation;
— handling loads the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metals, acids/bases, radiating materials);
— when the public or non-working adults have access.
Emission of acoustic noise could be identified to be a significant hazard, but emission of noise is not covered in this document.

The aspects covered in this document include

–    the characteristics and operating conditions,

–    the required level of electrical safety,

–    requirements for basic communication for safety and process matters if required by a MF-WPT system,

–    requirements for positioning to assure efficient and safe MF-WPT power transfer, and

–    specific EMC requirements for MF-WPT systems.

The following aspects are under consideration for future documents:

This document establishes requirements for assuring quality, safety, performance and documentation of laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) as per their intended use for the diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring, prevention or treatment of medical conditions.

It outlines the general principles and assessment criteria by which an LDT shall be designed, developed, characterized, manufactured, validated (analytically and clinically) and monitored for internal use by medical laboratories.

The scope includes regulatory authority approved IVD medical devices that are used in a manner differing from approved labelling or instructions for use for that device (e.g. use of a sample type not included in the intended use, use of instruments or reagents not included in the labelling).

While this document follows a current best practice and state-of-the art approach, it does not provide specific details on how to achieve these requirements within specific disciplines of the medical laboratory nor specific technology platforms.

This document does not specify requirements for examination procedures developed by research or academic laboratories developing and using testing systems for non-IVD purposes. However, the concepts presented in this document can also be useful for these laboratories.

This document does not apply to the design, development and industrial production of commercially used IVD medical devices.
