BS EN ISO 10218-2:2011 PDF

1   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.
