JAKA S series cobots (S5/S7/S12) and MiniCab control cabinet have officially received the IEC 60601 medical safety certification – the global benchmark for medical electrical equipment safety!

The certification is based on the IEC 60601-1 series, imposing far stricter requirements for both electrical and mechanical safety, compared to industrial standards like ISO 10218 or general electrical standards such as IEC 61010.

Electrical Safety

Medical environments have stringent limits for leakage current and electromagnetic interference. IEC 60601-1 requires that patient and operator safety be maintained even under a single fault condition—meaning that if one internal component fails, the robot must still prevent electrical shock to anyone in contact with it.

To achieve certification, JAKA robots undergo rigorous leakage current, dielectric strength, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests. In an operating room, for example, a certified JAKA robot will not interfere with sensitive devices like ECG monitors or electrosurgical units, nor will it malfunction in a complex electromagnetic environment.

Mechanical Safety

To meet medical standards, the robot's safety logic—including collision detection and safe speed monitoring—was rigorously evaluated. JAKA S enables smoother, safer, and more intuitive interactions between the robot and medical staff or patients through continuously refining its algorithms.

With this milestone, JAKA is now officially a trusted player in the global medical device ecosystem. We're ready to deliver compliant, safe, and deployment-ready cobot solutions for healthcare automation worldwide.
