VDE-AR-E 2842-61-2 describes the requirements for the management in order to ensure and support a structured approach to the development of an trustworthy autonomous cognitive system. This entails guidance (e.g. process, procedures synchronized with the overall process), supporting means (e.g. methods, templates) as well as resource planning and activity tracking to ensure the right performance of the system. The obligation is split into three parts: the management on company level, the management during the project and the management after release. VDE-AR-E 2842-61-2 is part of an overall reference lifecycle as a unified approach to achieve and maintain the overall performance of the solution and the intended behavior and trustworthiness of the autonomous / cognitive system. In addition, this could lead to a basis for the qualification and conformity assessment of solutions based on autonomous / cognitive systems including elements of artificial intelligence. This VDE applikation guide is written in English.

The obligation is split into three parts: the management on company level, the management during the project and the management after release. VDE AR 2842-61-3 is part of an overall reference lifecycle as a unified approach to achieve and maintain the overall performance of the solution and the intended behavior and trustworthiness of the autonomous / cognitive system. In addition, this could lead to a basis for the qualification and conformity assessment of solutions based on autonomous / cognitive systems including elements of artificial intelligence.

VDE-AR-E 2842-61-6 specifies a general framework for the development of trustworthy solutions and trustworthy autonomous / cognitive systems, including the requirements for the subsequent phases of Product life cycle (e. g. production, marketing & sales, operation & maintenance, retirement & repair). It defines a reference lifecycle in analogy to the most important standards for functional safety (i. e. IEC 61508) as a unified approach to achieve and maintain the overall performance of the solution and the intended behavior and trustworthiness of the autonomous / cognitive system. In addition, this could lead to a basis for the qualification and conformity assessment of solutions based on autonomous / cognitive systems including elements of artificial intelligence. The

The document provides an overview of ETSI activities linked to StandardizationNeeds in the area of "Robotics and Autonomous Systems" (RAS), referred to as a “multidisciplinary scientific and technological domain for implementing complex systems with cognitive capabilities” (see the EU ICT Standardization Rolling Plan)

This document gives guidelines for a uniform framework, transversal with respect to the different robot categories and limited to those robots and robotic applications characterized by human-robot collaboration, for the development and/or use of testing procedures, applicable to different robot categories and use scenarios. This document is informative and is not aimed at substituting or simplifying verification and/or validation procedures required by standards. The objectives of this document are the following: — define an approach for the development and use of procedures for testing safety in human-robot collaboration at a system level, based on safety-relevant human-robot collaboration skills and limited to the mechanical hazards; — define a comprehensive list of application-driven, technology-invariant safety-relevant human-robot collaboration skills valid across different domains; — provide a template for system-level validation protocols; — by way of example, present two system-level validation protocols, applicable to multiple domains. This document does not apply to the following devices, systems and applications: autonomous vehicles for the transportation of persons, drones, rescue robots (including ground, marine and aerial vehicles), surgical robots in relation to the body of the patient, passive wearable devices, external limb prostheses. NOTE 1 This document aims at providing harmonization in the compilation of structured testing procedures, to supplement safety validation of specific robot applications, building, where possible, on test methods provided in the relevant standards. It does not propose any safety requirement, nor is it intended to provide alternatives for or simplification of the relevant standards for each robot category. Users of this document are expected to be proficient in directives, regulations and standards applicable for the specific robot system and application. An overview of robot categorization is provided in A.1. NOTE 2 This document does not address “functional safety” (e.g. the performance level of safety-related parts of control systems), nor criteria for its validation and verification.

IEC 60068-2-64:2008+A1:2019 demonstrates the adequacy of specimens to resist dynamic loads without unacceptable degradation of its functional and/or structural integrity when subjected to the specified random vibration test requirements. Broadband random vibration may be used to identify accumulated stress effects and the resulting mechanical weakness and degradation in the specified performance. This information, in conjunction with the relevant specification, may be used to assess the acceptability of specimens. This standard is applicable to specimens which may be subjected to vibration of a stochastic nature resulting from transportation or operational environments, for example in aircraft, space vehicles and land vehicles. It is primarily intended for unpackaged specimens, and for items in their transportation container when the latter may be considered as part of the specimen itself. However, if the item is packaged, then the item itself is referred to as a product and the item and its packaging together are referred to as a test specimen. This standard may be used in conjunction with IEC 60068-2-47:2005, for testing packaged products. If the specimens are subjected to vibration of a combination of random and deterministic nature resulting from transportation or real life environments, for example in aircraft, space vehicles and for items in their transportation container, testing with pure random may not be sufficient. See IEC 60068-3-8:2003 for estimating the dynamic vibration environment of the specimen and based on that, selecting the appropriate test method. The major changes with regard to the previous edition concern the removal of Method 1 and Method 2, replaced by a single method, and replacement of Annex A with suggested test spectra and removal of Annex C. Also included in this revision is the testing of soft packed specimens.

IEC 60068-2-2:2007 Deals with dry heat tests applicable both to heat-dissipating and non heat-dissipating specimens. For non heat-dissipating specimens, Tests Bb and Bd do not deviate essentially from earlier issues. The object of the dry heat test is limited to the determination of the ability of components, equipment or other articles to be used, transported or stored at high temperature. These dry heat tests do not enable the ability of specimens to withstand or operate during the temperature variations to be assessed. In this case, it would be necessary to use IEC 60068-2-14 Test N: Change of temperature. The dry heat tests are subdivided as follows:- Dry heat test for non heat-dissipating specimens with gradual change of temperature, Bb.- Dry heat tests for heat-dissipating specimens with gradual change of temperature, Bd. with gradual change of temperature, specimen powered throughout, Be. The procedures given in this standard are normally intended for specimens that achieve temperature stability during the performance of the test procedure. The main changes from the previous edition are as follows: Tests Ba and Bc have been deleted since they were more severe tests than Test Nb, IEC 60068-2-14: Change of temperature. Secondly it was considered justified to delete the 3 % value on the temperature difference between the chamber air and the wall temperatures. Thirdly it is proposed that the test specimen be powered throughout the test where required; and, finally, the annexes have been removed.
