Standard

BS 8611 gives guidance on the identification of potential ethical harm and provides guidelines on safe design, protective measures, and information for the design and application of robots. BS 8611 builds on existing safety requirements for different types of robots; industrial, personal care, and medical. BS 8611 describes ethical hazards associated with the use of robots and provides guidance to eliminate or reduce the risks associated with them. Significant ethical hazards are presented, and guidance is given on how they are to be dealt with for various robot applications. Ethical hazards are broader than physical hazards. Most physical hazards have associated psychological hazards due to fear and stress. Thus, physical hazards imply ethical hazards, and safety design features are part of ethical design. Safety elements are covered by safety standards. BS 8611 is concerned with ethical elements

This standard specifies built-in safety measures aimed at preventing unexpected machine start-up (see 3.2) toallow safe human interventions in danger zones (see Annex A).This standard applies to unexpected start-up from all types of energy source, i.e.: Power supply, e.g. electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic.  Stored energy due to, e.g., gravity, compressed springs.  External influences, e.g. from wind;

Defines electrical and related mechanical safety requirements for design and construction of the electrical installation in battery powered industrial trucks hereinafter referred to as trucks, with nominal voltages of the truck system up to 240 V.

Pertains to the protection of persons and livestock against electric shock.

Specifies requirements and related tests for programmable controllers (PLCs) and their associated peripherals, which have as their intended use the control and command of machines and industrial processes.

This standard applies to the classification of degrees of protection provided by enclosures forelectrical equipment with a rated voltage not exceeding 72,5 kV.

Outlines Requirements for Autonomic Networking and Autonomic Management & Control in 5G Networks

Describes the dimensioning of clearances and creepage distances for spacings equal to or less than 2 mm for printed wiring board and equivalent constructions, where the clearance and the creepage distance are identical and are along the surface of solid insulation.

The purpose of this protocol is to extend the validation of the skill “Maintain Safe Distance” when complex safetyrelated sensor systems (SRSS) are installed within the workcell, by characterizing th e SRSS performance. The characterization is based on the measurement of the response time of the system and results accuracy. Results are expressed in human operator position, human operator perimeter violation, human operator movement speed and a true/fal se detection of the human operator falling to ground.

This Canadian standard is the ISO standards ISO 10218-1 (see above) and -2 combined into one document.CSA added additional requirements for the user of the robot system. Some of these requirements mightneed to be addressed by the robot integrator

A consortium-built standard to guide robotic automation interoperability and take a step toward this future. The standard will allow robots of different types from various vendors to share status information and operational conventions or “rules of the road” so they can better coexist on a warehouse or factory floor.
