The industrial robot standards system covers multiple dimensions, including safety, performance, communication, quality management, and industry access. It includes international standards (such as ISO and IEC), as well as Chinese national standards (GB/T) and industry specifications.
Safety Standards: Robots must comply with ISO 10218-1 (Robot Body Safety) and ISO 10218-2 (Integrated System Safety). Collaborative robots must additionally pass the ISO/TS 15066 collision test.
Electromagnetic Compatibility: Robots must pass the IEC 61000-6-2 immunity test in industrial environments to prevent control signal distortion caused by motor start-stop.
Energy Efficiency Standards: The EU ERP Directive requires robots to have a standby power consumption of less than 50W and an operating efficiency of at least 85%.
ISO 10218-1:2025 "Robots and Robotic Devices – Safety Requirements – Part 1: Industrial Robots" specifies the basic safety requirements for industrial robot bodies and applies to standalone devices.
ISO 10218-2:2025, "Robots and robotic devices – Safety requirements – Part 2: Robotic systems and integration," focuses on the safety requirements of robots in system integration, covering the entire lifecycle from design and commissioning to operation and maintenance, and for the first time includes cybersecurity as a mandatory requirement.
