This International Standard specifies requirements and guidelines for the inherent safe design, protective measures, and Information for use of personal care robots, as defined in Clause 3.1 and it has a special focus on three types of personal care robots, namely "mobile servant robot" (as defined in Clause 3.3), "physical assistant robot" (as defined in Clause 3.4), and "person carrier robot" (as defined in Clause 3.5). These robots typically perform tasks as exemplified in Annex C. The standard describes hazards associated with the use of these robots, and provides requirements to eliminate, or adequately reduce, the risks associated with these hazards. All the significant hazards are presented in Annex A (List of significant hazards for personal care robots) and this standard describes how they should be dealt with for each personal care robot type. Personal care robotic devices are also covered by this standard and should be treated as personal care robots. Personal care robots may need to adhere to additional standards and regulations where appropriate; for example motor vehicle regulations when person carrier robots are operating on public roads. This International Standard covers human-robot physical contact applications. It is limited to earthbound robots. This International standard does not apply to: - Marine robots and flying robots; - Industrial robots, which are covered in ISO 10218; - Medical applications; - Military applications; - Public peace applications. The scope of this International Standard is limited primarily to human care related hazards but where appropriate, includes domestic animals or property, when the personal care robot is properly installed and maintained and used for its intended purpose or under conditions which can reasonably be foreseen.
