What is ISO/TR 23482‑1 about?
ISO/TR 23482‑1 is part one of the multi-series standard that describes methods that can be used to test personal care robots in terms of safety requirements defined in ISO 13482. The target robots of ISO/TR 23482‑1 are identical to those of ISO 13482.
The manufacturer determines the required tests and appropriate testing parameters based on a risk assessment of the robot’s design and usage. This risk assessment can determine that tests and test parameters other than those contained in ISO/TR 23482‑1 are acceptable.
ISO/TR 23482‑1 will help you improve the safety of personal care robots.
NOTE- Not all test methods are applicable to all robot types. Test methods labelled “universal” are applicable to all personal care robots. For other tests, the heading states for which robot types the test can be applied (e.g., “for wearable robot” or “for mobile robot”).
Some test methods can be replaced by using other applicable standards, even if they are not listed in ISO/TR 23482‑1.
Who is ISO/TR 23482‑1 for?
ISO/TR 23482‑1 on the application of ISO 13482 safety-related test methods is useful for:
- Personal care robot manufacturers
- Personal care robot designers
- Testing facilities for robots
Why should you use ISO/TR 23482‑1?
ISO/TR 23482‑1 describes test methods used to verify safety criteria of personal care robots. ISO/TR 23482‑1 will help you improve the safety of personal care robots.
ISO/TR 23482‑1 is intended to facilitate ISO 13482, which summarizes the safety requirements of personal care robots.
ISO/TR 23482‑1 describes test methods which are guidelines to verify compliance to the requirements of ISO 13482. Together with the other verification and validation methods described in ISO 13482, they are selectively applicable according to the robot design and usage.
ISO/TR 23482‑1 provides you guidance on test conditions, selection of test samples, and test report.
ISO/TR 23482‑1 describes test methods for the test of physical hazard characteristics, endurance characteristics, static stability, and reliability of autonomous decisions and actions.
