Applies to: Methodology for designers of all types of machinery
ISO 12100 is methodology, not detail-requirements. It defines the three-step iterative process for risk reduction: inherently safe design, safeguarding and protective devices, information for use. Most other machinery standards (ISO 10218, ISO 13849, IEC 62061) cite ISO 12100's process and pick up where it leaves off.
Audit-readiness, not certified. Roboticks is not itself a certified verification tool. Conformity assessment is the manufacturer's responsibility (with notified-body involvement where required). We assemble the verification evidence your assessor reads.
Step 1 — Inherently safe design (eliminate the hazard at the source). Step 2 — Safeguarding and complementary protective measures (guards, protective devices, e-stop, two-hand control). Step 3 — Information for use (warning labels, instruction manual, training). Iterate until residual risk is acceptable.
ISO 12100 doesn't prescribe a specific risk-estimation method; it lists factors (severity, frequency, exposure, possibility of avoidance) and lets the designer pick a method. ISO 13849 then uses the same factors in its risk graph for PL determination.
ISO 12100 outputs (risk assessment artifacts, hazard register) typically live in your requirements tool. Ingest the resulting safety requirements via ReqIF. Roboticks doesn't generate the hazard analysis — that's expert work — but it carries the resulting requirements through to verification.
These are example requirements you could derive from ISO 12100 and link to verifying tests via the @confirms decorator. Not exhaustive and not a substitute for a domain-expert risk assessment.
ISO12100-RA-HAZARD-LISTAll reasonably foreseeable hazards must be identified. Not directly verifiable by code test; verifiable by document review and traceability that every identified hazard has at least one risk-reduction measure tracked.
Ingest ISO 12100 as a ReqIF export from your requirements tool, or as a PDF for the LLM extractor. Link tests via @confirms. Watch the matrix turn green as PRs land.
