What Is
What Is ISO 10218?
ISO 10218 is the international safety standard for industrial robots and industrial robot applications and cells. Part 1 (2025) addresses industrial robots; Part 2 (2025) addresses industrial robot applications and cells. That division matters because an arm manufacturer's assessment does not necessarily establish the safety of the installed application: tooling, payload, fixtures, interfaces, access, and surrounding machinery can create additional hazards.
The standards are not Texas statutes unless a law adopts them. A Texas business should identify the edition, actual product or application, relevant clauses, assessment, and evidence behind any conformance claim. OSHA requirements, contract obligations, product-liability principles, and any incorporated standards must be evaluated separately.
