We also support compliance with evolving European regulatory frameworks, including the Machinery Directive and its replacement, the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, which becomes mandatory in 2027. Safety obligations are addressed through applicable foundational standards such as ISO 13849 and IEC 62061, and increasingly through emerging robotics standards like ISO 25785, which builds upon these foundations for mobile, human-interactive robots. Unlike traditional industrial robot arms that can safely achieve a stop by cutting power, humanoid and mobile robots must often remain fail-operational—maintaining balance or executing controlled shutdown behaviors to avoid introducing new hazards—similar to expectations in autonomous vehicle systems.

What makes SRES unique is our proven track record supporting large-scale deployment of safety-critical automated and autonomous systems across industrial, on-road, and off-road applications. We understand how functional safety expectations evolve as autonomous capability increases—and we help organizations translate standards intent into credible, defensible safety arguments for modern robotic systems.
