ANSI/A3 R15.06-2025 American National Standard
for Industrial Robots and Robot Systems – Safety Requirements
After nearly eight years of work, we proudly announce the publication of the revised R15.06. In its first major revision since 2011, these new documents offer a significant leap forward in ensuring the safety of robotics in industrial environments.
R15.06 will include three parts:
Part 1: Industrial Robots
Part 2: Robot Applications and Robot Cells
Part 3: Use of Industrial Robot Cells COMING SOON*
*When Part 3 is published, the update will be provided to anyone who already purchased R15.06-2025.
