1.3.1 Safety-related Requirements
Specific tolerances and operating conditions for safety are contained in the manuals
for the Manipulator, Controller and other devices. Be sure to read those manuals
as well.
For the installation and operation of the robot system, be sure to comply with the
applicable local and national regulations.
Robot system safety standards and other examples are given in this chapter.
To ensure that safety measures are satisfied, also refer to these standards.
