Type C Standard stating:
Safety requirements industrial mobile robots, traveling on the ground.
For the purpose of this document, an "industrial environment" is a workplace where the public is excluded or restricted from access.
This document, Part 1, is intended to be the first in a series addressing safety requirements. Part 2, to be developed separately, will address safety requirements for the integration of applications of industrial mobile robots.
Exclusions:
The following automated mobile machines are out of scope of this document:
• Industrial trucks defined in ISO 5053-1 (covered by EN ISO 3691-4);
• Industrial mobile robots with actively controlled stability (separately proposed for development as ISO/NP 25785-1);
• Mobile machines whose travel speed and travel direction is solely under control of a driver or an operator (e.g., human remote control, human continuous local control);
• Mobile machines whose travel is solely mechanically guided;
• Mobile machines which are worn by humans (e.g., exoskeletons);
• Road vehicles;
• Airborne, waterborne, underwater, or climbing mobile machines;
• Mobile machines used in agricultural and forestry domains;
• Earth-moving and mining machinery;
• Commercial and industrial floor-cleaning robots; and
• Mobile machines when used in non-industrial environments.
Note: Examples of mobile robots used in non-industrial environments can include: Mobile robots intended for consumer or household use; undersea, military and space robots; or medical, surgical, or rehabilitative mobile robots.
The following hazards are not covered in this document:
• severe conditions (e.g. extreme climates, freezer applications, strong magnetic fields) outside of manufacturer’s specification;
• corrosive or potentially explosive environments (dust, liquid, vapour or gas);
• nuclear environments;
• specific hygienic requirements;
• ionizing and hazardous non-ionizing radiation;
• during the transportation of (a) person(s);
• when handling loads the nature of which can lead to dangerous situations (e.g., molten metals, acids/bases, radiating materials).
