About RIA TR R15.606 (Collaborative Robots)

This hands-on workshop builds applied knowledge and team exercises around the certification requirements of RIA TR R15.606.

RIA TR R15.606 is the US technical report mirroring ISO/TS 15066 — collaborative operation requirements and the biomechanical limit data for power-and-force-limited applications in the R15.06 framework.

What it regulates

Collaborative methods, PFL contact thresholds, SSM distance methodology for US installations.

Who must comply

US cobot integrators validating collaborative applications.

Key requirements of RIA TR R15.606

  • Adoption of TS 15066 technical content
  • US terminology and integration with R15.306 assessments

Key concepts: RIA TR R15.606

Collaborative workspace
The defined space where human and robot may be simultaneously present under a specified method.
PFL validation
Measured verification of contact forces/pressures against body-region limits.

Frequently asked questions: RIA TR R15.606

Do US cobot cells need force measurement?

Yes for PFL applications — validation against the limit tables with calibrated instruments is the accepted evidence, as under TS 15066/ISO 10218:2025.
