ISO 14121-2 Hazard Identification in Robotic Equipment
The ISO 14121 series is a set of standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) aimed at ensuring the safety and compliance of robotic equipment. The second part, ISO 14121-2, focuses specifically on hazard identification, providing critical guidelines for identifying potential hazards in the design, construction, installation, operation, and maintenance phases of industrial robots.
For quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement professionals involved with robotics, this standard is indispensable. It ensures that all robotic systems are designed to minimize risks associated with their intended use while adhering to international safety standards. This service helps you navigate the complexities of ISO 14121-2 by offering comprehensive testing services tailored to your specific needs.
The process begins with a thorough review of the robot’s design and documentation, followed by a detailed examination of its components. Our team then conducts hazard identification exercises using advanced computational tools and expert knowledge. Once potential hazards are identified, we proceed with risk assessment, which helps determine appropriate safety measures necessary for mitigating those risks.
Our state-of-the-art facilities house cutting-edge equipment capable of simulating various operational scenarios that could lead to accidents or injuries. These simulations allow us to pinpoint exact points where interventions might be needed without exposing actual personnel to danger during testing phases. After completing all tests, we compile detailed reports outlining our findings along with recommended actions for improving safety.
The implementation of ISO 14121-2 ensures that your robotic systems comply not only with current regulations but also future-proof them against emerging risks or changes in legislation. By partnering with us early on in the development cycle, you can ensure compliance while maintaining competitive edge through innovation and continuous improvement practices.
Our team of experts is well-versed in interpreting ISO 14121-2 requirements for different types of robotic equipment, ensuring accurate application across diverse industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, etc. We offer a range of additional services including training sessions on how best to utilize these standards effectively within your organization.
