Safety Requirements Published for Human Robot Collaboration
The ISO Technical Specification with safety requirements for industrial human-robot collaboration (ISO/TS 15066) was finalized by the responsible international ISO working group in December 2015 and published by ISO on February 15, 2016. The document can be ordered at ISO store (www.iso.org).
ISO/TS 15066 contains requirements for the safe implementation of robots in collaborative operations. In order to assess the potential hazards resulting from a collision between worker and robot, the outcome of studies on biomechanical limits for permissible contacts between human and robot were taken into account. The aim of ISO/TS 15066 is to deliver workable requirements for the users of human robot collaboration and requirements for the safe implementation of collaborative applications.
