ISO 10218 / ISO 13482
International safety standards for industrial robots (10218) and personal care robots (13482).
ISO 10218 covers robots and robot systems in factories, including collaborative operation (with the technical specification ISO/TS 15066 on contact forces). ISO 13482 covers mobile servant robots, physical assistant robots and person carrier robots that work near ordinary people.
A certificate is not required for every robot, but in the EU you also need CE marking and a risk assessment. Ask the vendor for the actual certificate and its scope, because a claim like complies with ISO may only refer to a component. If people walk close to the robot, this matters far more than speed.
