The Compliance Process Flow
Achieving compliance is a systematic journey. This interactive diagram outlines the typical lifecycle for bringing a compliant robotics system to market. Click each step to learn more.
This foundational phase involves integrating relevant standards (like ISO 10218) directly into the robot's mechanical, electrical, and software architecture. Safety is designed-in, not bolted-on.
A systematic process (guided by standards like ISO 14971 for medical devices) to identify, analyze, and evaluate potential hazards throughout the robot's lifecycle, from normal operation to foreseeable misuse.
Rigorous testing of hardware and software to verify that safety functions and mitigations identified in the risk assessment perform as intended under both normal and fault conditions.
An independent audit by a notified body or accredited lab (e.g., TÜV, UL) that confirms the robot and its documentation meet all requirements of the relevant standards, resulting in a certification mark (e.g., CE, UL).
