This recommended practice outlines best practices and requirements for the development of designs of human-subject experiments in human-robot interaction research.
IEC 60068-2-2:2007 Deals with dry heat tests applicable both to heat-dissipating and non heat-dissipating specimens. For non heat-dissipating specimens, Tests Bb and Bd do not deviate essentially from earlier issues. The object of the dry heat test is limited to the determination of the ability of components, equipment or other articles to be used, transported or stored at high temperature. These dry heat tests do not enable the ability of specimens to withstand or operate during the temperature variations to be assessed. In this case, it would be necessary to use IEC 60068-2-14 Test N: Change of temperature. The dry heat tests are subdivided as follows:- Dry heat test for non heat-dissipating specimens with gradual change of temperature, Bb.- Dry heat tests for heat-dissipating specimens with gradual change of temperature, Bd. with gradual change of temperature, specimen powered throughout, Be. The procedures given in this standard are normally intended for specimens that achieve temperature stability during the performance of the test procedure. The main changes from the previous edition are as follows: Tests Ba and Bc have been deleted since they were more severe tests than Test Nb, IEC 60068-2-14: Change of temperature. Secondly it was considered justified to delete the 3 % value on the temperature difference between the chamber air and the wall temperatures. Thirdly it is proposed that the test specimen be powered throughout the test where required; and, finally, the annexes have been removed.
This document provides guidance on the practical application of safety and lean manufacturing principles to machinery and manufacturing systems for improving performance, safety and quality by reducing injury and waste. The guidelines in this technical report assist machine tool users to minimize waste and risk associated with machinery and manufacturing systems, including individual and integrated machine tools and auxiliary components.
This Technical Report introduces three categories of inspections; conversational inspections, visual inspections, and technical inspections. Applying the appropriate category to existing inspections improves communication, safety culture, and risk reduction measures. Although each of the three categories provide a benefit, it is not necessary for all categories to be used. The template checklists which are included may be modified to produce “organizational specific” checklists by either internal or external subject matter experts
This standard applies to machines with a work envelope equal to or greater than two cubic meters (2 m3) or two meters of linear axis travel, or where personnel are regularly required to enter into the working envelope to perform work or tasks. This standard applies to large machines with a working envelope greater than two cubic meters (meters of travel). The requirements in this standard apply to all large machines, unless they are specifically covered in or by another standard. This document is intended to be used with both ANSI B11.0 and ANSI B11.19 to execute the risk assessment process and the risk reduction measures, respectively.
This standard provides requirements for use in developing effective safeguarding methods to protect people from injury due to inadvertent contact with mechanical power transmission apparatus. When specific safeguarding methods are listed, they are based on sound safety practices; however, alternatives that provide equivalent protection are acceptable. The use of personal protective equipment is recommended, where applicable, but its use does not negate provisions of this Standard.
Develop and maintain Standards for terminology, performance requirements, and related topics for robotic arms (manipulators).
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.
