Association for Advancing Automation Updates Safety Standard

The Association for Advancing Automation (A3) has published a revised version of ISO 10218, the global flagship standard for industrial robot safety. The newly published ISO 10218 Parts 1 and 2 feature extensive updates that focus on making functional safety requirements more explicit rather than implied. This shift enhances clarity and usability, making compliance more straightforward for manufacturers and integrators alike, A3 said.

In North America, ISO 10218 had been previously adopted as ANSI R15.06 in the U.S. and CSA Z434 in Canada. Work is underway to adopt the new 10218 in both jurisdictions with new versions of R15.06 and Z434 expected to be released later this year.

The 2025 edition of ISO 10218 is available for purchase to U.S. customers through A3’s online store. The publication is the first major revision since 2011 and reflects the evolution of automation technologies and workplace demands.
