Carrying out a risk analysis
In this case the operator is responsible for carrying out a risk assessment based
on the contents of this manual according to the corresponding standards before
using Panda.
Franka Emika recommends carrying out a risk analysis in accordance with the
Machinery Direcve and thereby take into consideraon the hazards list from
ISO 10218-1:2011 ANNEX A (the C standard for robots), in addion to the
measures of ISO 10218-2:2011.
Any measures emerging from it, whether suitable or necessary (e.g. construc-
onal or organizaonal measures) are to be introduced and assured.

The following informaon on how to use and place the Arm are praccal ps
and may not be exhausive when it comes to concrete applicaon. They do not
replace a risk assessment but may suggest layout opons.
If you can answer all quesons on the CE check list with “yes”, you can start using
Panda straight away without performing an own risk assessment. Please use the deliv-
ered quick guide for installing Panda. Then you can start using Panda straight away.
If you have not purchased a Panda CE out of the box soluon or have answered
some quesons on the CE check list with “no”, our CE assessment according to
the Machinery Direcve is not valid. You will therefore have to carry out the risk
assessment yourself and implement the necessary measures before being able to
use Panda.
