Safety requirements for industrial mobile robots — Part 1: Industrial mobile robots
ISO/WD 26058-1 is a working draft standard outlining safety requirements for industrial mobile robots traveling on the ground within restricted industrial environments. It specifies the scope of covered machines while explicitly excluding industrial trucks, driver-controlled machines, exoskeletons, road vehicles, and robots used in non-industrial or hazardous environments. The document serves as the first part of a series addressing safety requirements for mobile robots.
Summary and content fields are drawn from the document text and are pending editorial review.
Who issued it
Who it governs
Manufacturers, developers, and deployers of industrial mobile robots should read this to understand baseline safety requirements.
What the document contains
The document covers safety requirements for industrial mobile robots traveling on the ground in environments where public access is restricted. It defines exclusions regarding specific types of mobile machines and hazardous conditions that fall outside its scope.
The document does not provide AI-specific governance guidance, software algorithmic definitions, or detailed enforcement mechanisms.
- This document is a working draft standard establishing safety requirements for ground-traveling industrial mobile robots.
- An industrial environment is defined as a workplace where the public is excluded or restricted from access.
- Several automated mobile machines and vehicles are explicitly excluded from the scope, including road vehicles, exoskeletons, and consumer floor-cleaning robots.
- Certain severe hazards, such as nuclear environments, explosive atmospheres, and extreme climates outside manufacturer specifications, are not covered.
