scope:

1.1 These requirements cover robots and robotic equipment rated 600 V or less and intended for installation in accordance with the National Electrical Code,  ANSI/NFPA 70.  Since end-use installation of a robot and robotic equipment may vary for each user application, guidelines for end-product installation may be evaluated to the applicable sections of ANSI/RIA R15.06, Standard for Industrial Robots and Robot Systems-Safety Requirements. Portions of the requirements in this Standard have been excerpted from the Robotic Industries Association's (RIA) Standard for Industrial Robots and Robot Systems - Safety Requirements, ANSI/RIA R15.06.
