Applied Standards

Maintaining robot compliance with the following standards requires adhering to the assembly instructions, safety instructions and guidance in this manual. For the safety of the robot application, the integrator is required to comply with ISO 10218-2. Unauthorized modifications invalidate the Declaration of Incorporation (DOI), certifications and conformity of the robot.

UR robots comply with the relevant requirements in the applied standards. Applicable test reports and certifications included in this manual and the standards are listed in the Declaration of Incorporation.

The standards applicable to this manual are listed in the table below:
