ISO 10218-1:2011规定了固有安全设计，工业机器人使用的保护措施和信息的要求和指南。它描述了与机器人相关的基本危害，并提供了消除或充分降低与这些危害有关的风险的要求。 ISO 10218-1:2011不将机器人作为一台完整的机器来处理。噪声排放通常不被认为是机器人的重大危害，因此噪声被排除在ISO 10218-1:2011的范围之外。 ISO 10218-1:2011不适用于非工业机器人，尽管ISO 10218建立的安全原则可用于其他机器人

ISO 10218-1:2011 specifies requirements and guidelines for the inherent safe design, protective measures and information for use of industrial robots. It describes basic hazards associated with robots and provides requirements to eliminate, or adequately reduce, the risks associated with these hazards. ISO 10218-1:2011 does not address the robot as a complete machine. Noise emission is generally not considered a significant hazard of the robot alone, and consequently noise is excluded from the scope of ISO 10218-1:2011. ISO 10218-1:2011 does not apply to non‑industrial robots, although the safety principles established in ISO 10218 can be utilized for these other robots.
