C Applied Standards
This section describes relevant standards applied under the development of the robot arm and control
box. Whenever a European Directive number is noted in brackets, it indicates that the standard is
harmonized according to that Directive.
A standard is not a law. A standard is a document developed by stakeholders within a given industry,
defining the normal safety and performance requirements for a product or product group.
Abbreviations mean the following:
ISO International Standardization Organization
IEC International Electrotechnical Commission
EN European Norm
TS Technical Specification
TR Technical Report
ANSI American National Standards Institute
RIA Robotic Industries Association
CSA Canadian Standards Association
Conformity with the following standards is only guaranteed if all assembly instructions, safety instruc-
tions and guidance in this manual are followed.
