NOTE Applications for the automation of laboratories are not considered as medical or healthcare of a person.
This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events when used as intended and under specified conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the integrator.
This document provides basic requirements for industrial robot applications, but does not cover the hazards related to the following:
— emission of airborne noise;
— severe conditions (e.g. extreme climates, freezer use, strong magnetic fields) outside of manufacturer’s specifications;
— underground use;
— use that has hygienic requirements;
— processing of any material (e.g. food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, metal);

— use in environments with hazardous ionizing and non-ionizing radiation levels;
— hazardous ionizing and non-ionizing radiation;
— handling loads the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metals, acids/bases, radiating materials);
— when the public or non-working adults have access.
Emission of acoustic noise could be identified to be a significant hazard, but emission of noise is not covered in this document.
