# ISO 10218-1/-2:2025

> The 2025 overhaul of ISO 10218 — the core industrial-robot safety standard — added cybersecurity provisions for the first time, recognising that a compromised robot controller or policy is a safety problem, not just an IT one.

Regulation/standard: ISO 10218-1:2025 · ISO 10218-2:2025
Timing: ISO 10218-1:2025 and ISO 10218-2:2025 were published 5 February 2025.

## What it is

- ISO 10218-1:2025 covers the robot; ISO 10218-2:2025 covers robot systems and integration.
- The 2025 revision introduces cybersecurity requirements alongside the traditional mechanical and functional-safety clauses.
- It is widely referenced by machinery-safety assessors and harmonised standards work in the EU.
- It introduces cybersecurity requirements but defers the detailed cyber requirements to the IEC 62443 series — the two are meant to be read together.

## Where a red-team result fits

- **Cybersecurity clauses** — The revision requires that security-relevant threats to safety functions be considered — including manipulation of the control logic that drives motion.

## What Provael maps to it

- Adversarial-robustness evidence for the policy that drives an industrial robot, in simulation.
- A mapping from each finding to a security-relevant safety concern (e.g. keep-out-zone violation).
- A reproducible, versioned report that an integrator can attach to a 10218-2 system assessment.
