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

ISO 11354-2:2015 specifies:- levels to represent the capability of an enterprise to interoperate with other enterprises. - measures for assessing the capability of a specific enterprise to interoperate with other enterprises. - methods for combining these measures into two kinds of overall assessment:- maturity level by concern and barrier, and- assessment relative to four designated maturity levels. - a method for representing concern and barrier overall assessments in a graphical form and for identifying where capabilities are required to achieve desired higher levels of interoperability.

ISO 19439:2006 specifies a framework conforming to requirements of ISO 15704, which serves as a common basis to identify and coordinate standards development for modelling of enterprises, emphasising, but not restricted to, computer integrated manufacturing. ISO 19439:2006 also serves as the basis for further standards for the development of models that will be computer-enactable and enable business process model-based decision support leading to model-based operation, monitoring and control.In ISO 19439:2006, four enterprise model views are defined in this framework. Additional views for particular user concerns can be generated but these additional views are not part of this International Standard. Possible additional views are identified in ISO 15704.

This Technical Report describes test methods and metrics for measuring the pressures and forces associated with quasi-static and transient contact events of collaborative applications where risk reduction is provided primarily by robots with power and force limiting (PFL) by inherently safe design or safety functions according to ANSI/RIA R15.06 and RIA TR R15.606. This Technical Report also provides guidance on determining the conditions of the test measurements. A robot with PFL functionality is not to be considered safe “out of the box” as the PFL robot is a component within a collaborative application. If the PFL robot is used in an application with no human/robot collaboration, these test methods are not required. For further guidance on when to test, see Annex A: Determining When to Test PFL Applications. Forces attributable to human motion are not taken into consideration for the application of this technical report.

This Technical Specification specifies safety requirements for collaborative industrial robot systems and the work environment, and supplements the requirements and guidance on collaborative industrial robot operation given in ISO 10218-1 and ISO 10218-2 [ANSI/RIA R15.06-2012].This Technical Specification applies to industrial robot systems as described in ISO 10218-1 and ISO 10218-2 [ANSI/RIA R15.06-2012]. It does not apply to non-industrial robots, although the safety principles presented can be useful to other areas of robotics.

This technical report is written for users of industrial robots or robot systems that comply with ANSI/RIA R15.06-2012 Part 1, a responsibility of the robot manufacturer; and of industrial robot systems that comply with ANSI/RIA R15.06-2012 Part 2, a responsibility of the integrator. This technical report explains some user responsibilities and provides guidance to the user of robot systems to enable the safe use of the robot system(s) in their facilities. Compliance with this technical report is only achievable when using robot and robot systems that are compliant with ANSI/RIA R15.06-2012.

TR 506 explains how to take the 2012 R15.06 standard into account for existing robot systems, rather than the all-new robot installation that is the primary topic of the 2012 R15.06. The TR 506 document as published in 2014 continues to be the current active version.

The purpose of this technical report is to provide interpretation of certain provisions of ANSI/RIA R15.06-1999 and to present examples of current industry practices for teaching (programming) multiple industrial robots that share a common safeguarded space. This information is in addition to the requirements contained in ANSI/RIA R15.06-1999 and the committee considers the examples to comply with the safety standard.

The purpose of the protocol is to validate the safety skill “limit range of movement” for an angular motion of a single joint of an exoskeleton or a restrained-type rehabilitation robot. The range of motion is measured using an electro-goniometer.
