EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of CAN-CSA Z434 testing. This standard specifies requirements and guidelines for inherently safe design, protective measures and information for the use of industrial robots. It describes the main hazards associated with robots and provides requirements to eliminate or adequately reduce the risks associated with these hazards.
This standard was created in recognition of the specific hazards presented by industrial robots and industrial robot systems.
When the provisions of a type C standard differ from those specified in the type A or type B standards, the provisions of the type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards for machinery designed and built according to the provisions of the type-C standard.
The hazards associated with robots are well known, but sources of hazards are often specific to a particular robot system. The number and type(s) of hazards are directly related to the nature of the automation process and the complexity of the installation. The risks associated with these hazards vary depending on the type of robot used, its purpose, and the way it is set up, programmed, operated and maintained.
Providing a safe robotic system or cell depends on the cooperation of various stakeholders sharing a responsibility for the ultimate goal of providing a safe working environment. Stakeholders can be defined as manufacturers, suppliers, integrators and users (the organization responsible for using robots), but the common goal of all is a safe (robot) machine.
