Robots & Robotic Testing and Certification Solutions
Comprehensive Testing & Certification services for Robots and Robotic Products and Systems
From collaborative robots in the automotive industry, to autonomous mobile storage for the retail industry, to robotic personal assistants in your day-to-day activities, Intertek supports the robotic industry across the new industrial revolution.
Working together with robot manufacturers, we deliver extensive risk assessment and compliance evaluations to ensure that standalone robots, or robotics as part of an overall automated system, comply with global safety and performance standards.
Evaluation of robotic products consider multiple aspects and features such as electrical and mechanical safety, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), electromagnetic interference (EMI), battery testing, functional safety, cybersecurity, field evaluation and inspection, and the broad range of regional and country-specific directives and requirements. Different requirements will apply depending upon the product’s characteristics and application.
Our services span a range of industries and applications:
The Robotic Compliance Playbook
This playbook provides robotics manufacturers, integrators, and end-users with a clear roadmap to navigate safety, regulatory requirements, and certification. Packed with practical and actionable insights, relying on Intertek’s global experience, that's the go-to-guide for anyone looking at getting the most added value out of their compliance process.

European Requirements for Industrial Robots and Robot Systems
Robots in the EU are regulated based on their application. Industrial robots fall into the scope of the Machinery and EMC Directive. Manufacturers should follow existing EN and ISO standards on robotic devices, several are harmonized under the Machinery Directive.
Relevant regulations and standards:
EN ISO 10218-1: Robots and robotic devices - Safety requirements for industrial robots
EN ISO 10218-2: Robots and robotic devices - Safety requirements for industrial robots; robot systems and integration
EN ISO 13482: Robots and robotic devices - Safety requirements for personal care robots
ISO/TS 15066: Robots and robotic devices - Collaborative robots
EN 61000-6-2: Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Part 6-2: Generic standards - Immunity standard for industrial environments
EN 61000-6-4: Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Part 6-4: Generic standards - Emission standard for industrial environments
Under specific applications, such as potentially explosive environment, the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU shall also be considered. If the safety of machinery is governed by safety distance, then EN 13857 shall be applied to prevent hazard zones being reach by upper/lower limbs, or apply sensory devices as a solution. Other machinery standards may also be applicable, such as EN ISO 12100, ISO 13849-1, and others.
In addition, some robots will need to comply with the Radio Equipment Directive (RED), which establishes safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements for equipment using the radio spectrum. We provide guidance on RED requirements, as well as comprehensive testing and certification services.
North American Requirements for Industrial Robots and Robot Systems
A series of standards have been developed for the North American market which, together with existing international standards, ensure a high degree of safety evaluation.
ANSI/RIA R15.06: American National Standard for Industrial Robots and Robot Systems- Safety Requirements
ANSI/UL 1740: Standard for Robots and Robotic Equipment
CAN/CSA Z434: Industrial robots and robot systems
ANSI/CAN/UL 3100: Standard for Safety for Automated Mobile Platforms (AMPs)
ISO 13482: Robots and robotic devices - Safety requirements for personal care robots
IEC 61508-1: Functional safety of electrical/ electronic/ programmable electronic safety-related systems; Part 1: General requirements
IEC 61508-2: Functional safety of electrical/ electronic/ programmable electronic safety-related systems. Part 2: Requirements for electrical/ electronic/ programmable electronic safety-related systems
IEC 62061: Safety of machinery - Functional safety of safety-related electrical, electronic and programmable electronic control systems
