STAY COMPLIANT WITH ISO 10218

The ISO 10218 international safety standards for industrial robots have changed. Find out what you need to do to stay compliant - or to start now.

OVERVIEW

Enhancing industrial robot safety: the new ISO 10218 standards and their implications

It's been over 10 years since ISO 10218 defined benchmarks for industrial robot safety. In that time, robotics and related technologies have advanced dramatically, transforming workspaces and industrial capabilities.

The new ISO 10218-1:2025 and ISO 10218-2:2025 standards contain the revisions needed for businesses to navigate these changes and prioritize safety.
