About UL 3300 (Service, Communication and Security Robots)

This event covers the compliance, engineering, and verification requirements defined by UL 3300.

UL 3300 addresses safety of service robots operating in public and commercial environments — delivery, security patrol, guidance and communication robots — covering electrical, battery, and interaction/autonomy safety for the North American market.

What it regulates

Electrical/battery construction, mechanical hazards to bystanders, sensing-based protective behavior, and evaluation of autonomous operation in uncontrolled pedestrian environments.

Who must comply

Service-robot manufacturers seeking NRTL listing for malls, campuses, hospitals and sidewalks (paired with local operating permissions).

Key requirements of UL 3300

  • Construction and battery/charging safety
  • Bystander interaction: forces, speeds, edges, entrapment
  • Autonomy evaluation: detection and reaction to persons incl. children
  • Field acceptance documentation

Key concepts: UL 3300

Listing for deployment
Property owners and cities gate access on recognized certification.
Public-environment autonomy
Detection and behavior validated in cluttered, dynamic pedestrian settings.
Uninstructed bystanders
Design assumption of untrained public, including children and mobility-impaired persons.

Frequently asked questions: UL 3300

How does UL 3300 differ from UL 3100?

UL 3100 targets industrial AGVs/AMRs in controlled facilities; UL 3300 targets service robots among the public with correspondingly stronger emphasis on bystander interaction and autonomy behavior evaluation.
