cannot be held responsible for any damages caused to the robot or any other

2.2. Validity and Responsibility

The information in this manual does not cover designing, installing and operating a
complete robot application, nor does it cover all peripheral equipment that can influence
the safety of the complete system. The complete system must be designed and installed
in accordance with the safety requirements set forth in the standards and regulations of
the country where the robot is installed.
The integrators of Universal Robots e-Series robots are responsible for ensuring that the
applicable safety laws and regulations in the country concerned are observed and that
any significant hazards in the complete robot application are eliminated. This includes,
but is not limited to:
• Performing a risk assessment for the complete robot system
• Interfacing other machines and additional safety devices if defined by the risk
assessment
• Setting up the appropriate safety settings in the software
