ISO 10218 explained

ISO 10218 is an international standard for industrial robot safety, developed by ISO/TC 184/SC 2 "Robots and robotic devices"^[1] in parallel with the European Committee for Standardization in 2011. It consists of two parts:

• Part 1: Robots^[2]
• Part 2: Robot systems and integration^[3]

As a European standard it has the designation EN ISO 10218-1 and -2 (not to be mixed with EN 10218).^[4]

ISO/TS 15066 was published in 2016 to address the new field of safety requirements for cobots.^{[5] [6]}

Revisions to the original standard have been planned by the ISO/TC 299 committee.^{[7] [8]} They are expected to be released in 2021.^{[9] [10]}
