Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) Achieves International TÜV Certification for Safety Features

TÜV Rheinland has certified 13 different safety functions on MiR’s MiR600 and MiR1350 autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in accordance with ISO 13849-1 industry standard. With this stamp of approval from the respected third-party testing and certification organization, customers looking to use MiR’s AMRs now have independent assurance that the safety functions are implemented and meet international standards.

According to MiR President Jean-Pierre Hathout, the certifications are a vital step in MiR’s efforts to build even greater trust in AMRs, the MiR brand and individual product lines.

For 150 years, the TÜV system has operated as a privately operated inspection and testing body for technical safety and quality. As a technical partner of businesses, government agencies and organizations, TÜV Rheinland currently provides quality and safety control in nearly every sphere of economic and personal activity.

The TÜV certifications validate that MiR can reliably ensure the quality of the examined safety features during mass production of the MiR600 and MiR1350 AMRs, as required by the ISO 13849-1 industry standard.

The TÜV certification covers the following safety features for the MiR600 and MiR1350 platforms:

1. Emergency stop;
2. Overspeed;
3. Field Switching;
4. Personnel detection;
5. Speed monitor;
