Safety certification is the formal attestation by an accredited body that a product, system, or process conforms to applicable safety standards and regulations. It involves assessment, testing, and audit against criteria such as functional-safety integrity levels, after which a mark or certificate authorises deployment. For robots it verifies that protective measures like collision detection meet required safety levels.
