Standard for Safety for Service, Communication, Information, Entertainment and Education Robots, General Requirements
Porté:
These requirements cover the safety of the robotic function of Service, Communication, Information, Entertainment and Education (SCIEE) robots. These requirements supplement the safety requirements for the intended, non-robotic product function as described in the relevant identified standard(s) and, where applicable, cover robotics intended for indoor and outdoor use. The scope includes service robots intended for commercial use applications where ongoing operation of the robot does not require instructed or skilled person intervention during operation.
These requirements do not cover:
- Robots intended to treat, alleviate instability or move individuals in hospitals, care facilities or in the home.
- Robots operated exclusively for industrial purposes or in hazardous locations
- Material-handling robots for use in restricted environments.
- Robots for on- or off-road transport of persons.
- Robots intended for use in a food establishment except where the robot serves as a conveyance to directly relinquish food to the consumer.
- Robots for which safety of the robotic function is described in the relevant end-product safety standard. Examples of such Standards include ANSI/CSA C22.2 No. 336, Particulate requirements for rechargeable battery-operated commercial robotic floor treatment machines with traction drives and UL 1017, Standard for Vacuum Cleaners, Blower Cleaners, and Household Floor Finishing Machines.
- Robots identified as a toy by the manufacturer and intended use by children for play only by the Standard for Electric Toys, UL 696 and/or ASTM F963, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety.
- Robots intended for use as personnel protective equipment.
Raison d’être du projet
Note : L’information ci-dessus a été recueillie et est diffusée par le Conseil canadien des normes (CCN) pour les besoins de son système de notification centralisé et transparent pour l’élaboration de nouvelles normes. Le système permet aux organismes d’élaboration de normes (OEN) accrédités par le CCN et aux membres du public d’être informés des nouveaux travaux d’élaboration de normes au Canada. Il donne aussi aux OEN accrédités la possibilité de repérer et de résoudre les cas de doubles emplois éventuels dans les normes et les travaux de normalisation.
Les OEN sont eux-mêmes responsables du contenu et de l’exactitude de l’information présentée ici. Cette information n’existe que dans la langue dans laquelle elle a été fournie au CCN.
