Hello Robert, You present an interesting view of how to look at robotic systems that really needs open discussion. From my experience, you are better to look at risk levels and determine what is tolerable and what is not. ISO 14971 is one possible reference for risk assessment but there are other standards you can apply.

I've been tasked with seeking information about such Safety Standards - find standards, contact organizations/individuals, etc. I know there exists a plethora of related industrial robotic standards, but those standards seem like Class A versus Class B. Does anyone know of, or is anyone pursuing, any "Class B" standards? Who at IEEE is responsible for these standards and would actively take part in creating/extending operational safety standards? Who within any country? Feel free to reply 'off line' Regards, Robert Macy, PE AJM Electronics 101 E San Fernando St., Ste 402 San Jose, CA 95112 tel: 408 982 7574 cel: 408 286 3985 fax: 408 297 9121 [email protected] - This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
