Proposed Updates to ISO 10218-1 and ISO 10218-2
On-Demand Webinar
We'll answer frequently asked questions in a future podcast.
New editions of ISO 10218-1 for Industrial robots and ISO 10218-2 for Industrial robot systems, robot applications and robot cells are currently under revision, with final versions expected early this year. This will be a significant update, as many industrial robot safety standards around the world are based on these two standards.

While many of the basic requirements found in the standards will not change from past editions, much of the documents have been re-written  to be harmonized with the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC). Other big changes include new robot classifications, expanded functional safety requirements, introduction of cybersecurity concepts, and incorporation of ISO/TS 15066 safety function requirements.

This on-demand webinar takes an in-depth look into the proposed changes to ISO 10218-1 and ISO 10218-2, giving manufacturers and integrators of industrial robots everything they need to know in order to make a smooth transition to the new editions.
Key Learning Points:
  • History of ISO 10218-1 and ISO 10218-2 and their relationship to other industry standards
  • Overview of proposed changes to ISO 10218-1 and ISO 10218-2
  • Classifications of industrial robots for functional safety targets
  • Review of Annex C, including new safety functions that require an FS target
  • Introduction of cybersecurity concepts
  • Incorporation of ISO/TS 15066 safety function requirements for collaborative operations
