Adopts ISO 10218-2:2011, which specifies safety requirements for the integration of industrial robots and industrial robot systems as defined in ISO 10218-1:2011, and industrial robot cell(s).

This part of ISO 10218 has been created in recognition of the particular hazards that are presented by industrial robot systems when integrated and installed in industrial robot cells and lines.

Hazards are frequently unique to a particular robot system. The number and types of hazards are directly related to the nature of the automation process and the complexity of the installation.

The risks associated with these hazards vary with the type of robot used and its purpose and the way in which it is installed, programmed, operated, and maintained.

For the purpose of understanding requirements in this part of ISO 10218, a word syntax is used to distinguish absolute requirements from recommended practices or suggested actions. The word “shall” is used to identify requirements necessary for compliance with this part of ISO 10218. Such requirements have to be accomplished unless an alternative instruction is provided or a suitable alternative is determined by a risk assessment. The word “should” is used to identify suggestions, recommended actions or possible solutions for requirements, but alternatives are possible and the suggested actions are not absolute.
