TUV Rheinland participated in the formulation of China's first robot cable industry standard

Recently, the 2016 China Robot Industry Promotion Conference was successfully held in Wuhu City, Anhui Province, and the internationally renowned independent third-party inspection, testing and certification agency TUV Rheinland (hereinafter referred to as "TUV Rheinland") was invited to attend
。 During this meeting, China Robot Industry Alliance (hereinafter referred to as "CRIA") released China's first robot cable pass standard formulated by the alliance, and TUV Rheinland, as the only third-party inspection, testing and certification organization participating in the drafting of the robot cable standard, has received great attention and wide recognition
from the industry with its leading technical standards and professional vision in the robot cable industry.

Join hands with industry alliances to achieve a breakthrough in the robot cable industry standard from scratch

With the proposal and clarification of the concept of "Made in China 2025" and the continuous integration of informatization and industrialization, the intelligent industry represented by robot technology is booming
.
China's industrial robot ownership has accounted for a quarter of the world, and has become the world's largest industrial robot market
.
It is expected that by 2025, the annual sales of industrial robots in China will reach 260,000 units, and the number of units will exceed 1.
8 million
.
At the same time, robots will surely have more new development space
in the field of life and new application services such as medical and information.

As a carrier and important component for transmitting power and control capabilities, robot cables are particularly important
for robots.
Robot cables are to robots what central systems are to humans, and if any link fails, the entire system cannot operate
normally.
Due to the often demanding environment of use, robot cables must have a range of special properties
.
If the robot cable does not have relevant product standards, it cannot form technical specifications, which will bring great difficulty
to the research and development of cable companies.
At the same time, the lack of product standards is not conducive to the healthy growth
of the market.

In order to promote the technological development of domestic robots, CRIA, the most influential non-profit organization in the robot industry in China, together with TUV Rheinland and domestic mainstream cable manufacturers, led the formulation and promulgation of China's first robot cable passing standard, achieving a major breakthrough in robot cable standards from scratch, which will undoubtedly become an important milestone
in the history of China's robot industry.

With forward-looking vision and professional technology, we continue to expand our leading edge in the industry

In fact, TUV Rheinland, which is an industry leader in the field of robot cable testing and certification, has long foreseen that the certification demand for safety and quality of robots and their parts and components will continue to expand
with the development of the industry.
In view of the mature international market and the emerging domestic market, TUV Rheinland launched an in-depth investigation
of the robot cable market two years ago.
After the all-round evaluation of many cable experts in China, Europe and Japan, and after more than a year of repeated deliberation and demonstration, in August 2016, TUV Rheinland took the lead in promulgating the world's first third-party product standard for robot cables 2PfG 2577, filling the gap
in the field of robot cable standards.

2PfG 2577 makes systematic provisions for the physical, mechanical and electrical properties of robot cables, especially for the flexibility of robot cables, and classifies
them according to different forms of movement.
This move not only clarifies the requirements for cable manufacturers to develop robot cables, greatly reduces the research and development costs of cable manufacturers, but also provides a direct and reliable basis
for robot manufacturers to consider the capabilities of suppliers and control the quality of supplier products.

It is worth mentioning that about 80% of the content of China's first robot cable pass standard issued by CRIA comes from TUV Rheinland's third-party product standard for robot cable, and TUV Rheinland is also the only third-party inspection, testing and certification organization
that participated in the drafting of this universal standard.
It can be seen that TUV Rheinland has been highly recognized by the industry for its advanced and professional development of robot cable standards, and is also at the forefront of the industry, and is continuing to expand its leading edge
in the industry.

The formulation of the robot cable pass standard will greatly promote the improvement of the overall level of China's robot cable, and help China's cable manufacturing industry catch up with international advanced technology and occupy a place
on the international stage.
Mr.
Xia Bo, Vice President of Commercial Product Services of TUV Rheinland Greater China, said: "In the future, TUV Rheinland will continue to fully assist the Chinese government with professional services in standard formulation and testing and certification, and escort 'Made in China 2025'
.
The release of the standard for robot cables will be a good start, and TUV Rheinland is full of confidence
in more robot-related testing and certification services in the future.
