A safety standard in robotics is a normative document, published by a recognised standards body, that specifies requirements and guidelines to achieve acceptable levels of safety for robot systems, their components, and their operating environments. Key robotics safety standards include ISO 10218-1/2 for industrial robots, ISO/TS 15066 for collaborative operation, and ISO 13482 for personal care robots. Such standards define hazard categories, risk assessment methodology, required safety functions, performance levels, and verification procedures that manufacturers and system integrators must satisfy before deployment.
