Doug, In a previous life in the semiconductor and related industries the Japanese customers were satisfied with reports by a 3rd party, not certifications, to IEC/EN 60204-1 and IEC/EN 61010-1, as each is appropriate for the product, US NFPA 79, ISO 10218-1 for robots, and ANSI/RIA 15.06, which will eventually harmonize with the 10218-1, if not already done. Appropriate risk assessments for each function of the apparatus would need to be considered as well, and I know you are aware of that.

Colleagues, Can anyone point me towards the Japanese industrial machinery standards for safety and electrical requirements? I know of JIS, but am not familiar with them in any kind of detail. The equipment is a robotic paint booth application employing three, six-axis painting robots and some linear axes. The booth is sized to paint large vehicles. -- Doug Nix "Think Great Thoughts.
