THE COMPLIANCE CHALLENGE
Humanoid Robot Deployments Have a Documentation Problem
There is no single standard for humanoid robot safety. Compliance requires navigating a layered stack of ISO, OSHA, and EU regulations, and building documentation from scratch costs weeks of expert time.
No Unified Standard
ISO 10218-1/2:2025, ISO 25785-1 (still in draft), ANSI R15.06, EU MR 2023/1230, OSHA 1910.147. Humanoid robot operators must reference at least five overlapping frameworks. Missing one creates audit gaps.
EU Deadline: Jan 20, 2027
The EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 replaces the Machinery Directive. New cybersecurity, AI safety, and digital documentation requirements take effect in under 7 months. Non-compliant machinery cannot carry CE marking.
The Humanoid LOTO Problem
Standard lockout/tagout requires de-energizing equipment. A powered-off biped falls over, creating new hazards. OSHA’s alternative energy control procedure pathway requires specialized documentation most teams don’t have.
EU AND US COVERAGE
Compliant in the EU. Defensible in the US.
If you sell into or operate in the EU
The EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 replaces the Machinery Directive on January 20, 2027. It adds requirements for cybersecurity, AI-driven safety functions, and digital documentation. Machinery without compliant documentation loses CE marking eligibility. Module 5 gives your team the full transition checklist, so you know exactly what changes and what to prepare before the deadline.
If you run US operations
OSHA has no humanoid-specific rule yet. Your exposure does not shrink because the rulebook is thin: the General Duty Clause still applies, and after an incident the first question is always what documentation existed before it. The toolkit maps ANSI/A3 R15.06 and the OSHA alternative energy control pathway (29 CFR 1910.147) so your safety program is defensible in an audit today, not after the rules catch up.
WHAT’S INSIDE
7 Modules, ~96 Pages of Practitioner-Ready Templates
Each module provides the exact document structure your team needs. Fill in your site-specific details and you have audit-ready documentation.
01
Regulatory Overview Guide
14-page PDF. Understand which of the five overlapping frameworks actually apply to your deployment, and in what order, written for operations managers rather than standards lawyers. Enough to brief your team in an afternoon and defend the decision later.
02
Risk Assessment Template
14-page PDF plus an editable Word template. A humanoid hazard register your auditor will recognize, mapped to the ISO 12100 risk matrix and pre-populated so you assess what applies to your site instead of starting from a blank page. Covers the bipedal-specific risks generic robot assessments miss.
PDF + DOCX
03
Facility Readiness Checklist
13-page PDF. Walk your site before the robot arrives and close every readiness gap, from floor clearance to network segmentation, ending in a documented go or no-go decision. Every item flagged for EU, US, or both.
04
LOTO / Energy Control Procedure
19 pages. Editable Word template plus reference guide. The OSHA-compliant alternative energy-control procedure for a machine that falls over when you cut its power. This solves the bipedal lockout problem that standard LOTO templates cannot.
DOCX + PDF
05
EU Machinery Regulation Transition Checklist
9-page PDF. A tracked action list to get your technical file, cybersecurity assessment, and AI-safety review ready before the 20 January 2027 deadline, each item carrying a deadline and a named owner.
06
Training & Competency Log
10 pages. Excel workbook plus reference. Track who is trained on what, prove competency with a written and practical assessment, and authorize operators only once their record is green. Auditors want evidence, not attendance, and this produces it.
XLSX + PDF
07
Incident & Near-Miss Report Form
12 pages. Editable Word template plus reference. Capture a robot incident or near-miss the way investigators and regulators expect, with 5-Why root-cause analysis and the robot-specific fields generic forms leave out, including operational mode, firmware version, and safety-system state.
DOCX + PDF
Plus: 5-page README with quick-start guide, module overview, and usage instructions
WHO IT’S FOR
Built for the Teams Deploying Humanoid Robots
Safety Officers & EHS Managers
Structure your risk assessment and compliance documentation without building everything from blank pages. Pre-populated hazard registers and assessment templates save 3-5 days of expert work.
Operations Managers
Facility readiness checklists and training logs give you a clear pre-deployment assessment framework. Know exactly what infrastructure, training, and documentation your site needs before the robot arrives.
Compliance Teams
EU MR 2023/1230 transition checklists, regional compliance matrices, and incident reporting forms aligned with OSHA 29 CFR 1904 and EU accident reporting requirements.
System Integrators
Under EU MR 2023/1230, substantial modifications make you the manufacturer for the modified portions. The toolkit gives you the documentation structure to manage that responsibility.
Who is behind this
I am Ulrich Baldauf. I trained as a mechanical engineer and now work in software, and I have tracked humanoid robot deployment and the industrial safety standards stack since 2024. This toolkit compiles the actual published requirements, ISO 10218-1/2:2025, the EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230, and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147, into fill-in templates, so your safety engineer reviews and signs off instead of building the paperwork from a blank page.
How to use this toolkit
This is the structured starting point, mapped to the standards your auditor references. It does not replace a qualified safety engineer. It gives that engineer a complete, defensible draft to review and adapt, instead of weeks spent building it from scratch. The full legal notice is at the bottom of this page.
Current to the EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230, which applies from 20 January 2027. When the standards or official guidance change, I update the toolkit and you receive the updated version.

The Training Log is an Excel (.xlsx) workbook with unlocked input cells and locked structure. All PDFs are provided for reference and direct use.
Does this toolkit make my deployment ISO-compliant?
The toolkit provides professionally structured templates aligned with ISO 10218:2025 and EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230. It is a structured starting point for your compliance documentation, not a compliance certification. Your team fills in the site-specific details. We always recommend consulting a qualified safety engineer and/or legal counsel for your specific deployment.
Is the toolkit relevant for US-based operations?
Yes. The toolkit covers both EU and US compliance requirements. For US operations, it addresses ANSI/A3 R15.06-2025 (the US national adoption of ISO 10218:2025), OSHA General Duty Clause requirements, and the OSHA LOTO alternative energy control procedure pathway. The regional compliance matrix in the Regulatory Guide provides a side-by-side comparison.
What makes this different from generic machinery safety templates?
Every template is pre-populated for humanoid robot deployments. The hazard register includes humanoid-specific categories (fall risk, bipedal stability, autonomous navigation failure, battery thermal runaway). The LOTO procedure addresses the unique challenge that a powered-off biped falls over. The facility checklist includes humanoid-specific items like fall zone clearances and expansion joint gap measurements for bipedal navigation.
What happens after the EU Machinery Regulation deadline in January 2027?
The toolkit covers the transition requirements for EU MR 2023/1230 as of June 2026. The EU MR Transition Checklist specifically helps your team prepare before the January 20, 2027 deadline.
