Find the entry point that matches your role. Each path leads to practical guidance and the relevant specification documents.
Hospitals & care organisations
You are evaluating whether robots and connected systems can improve your operations — or you are planning a deployment and need to know what to ask for.
What to focus on:
- What responsibilities your organisation must define before adoption begins
- What to assess in a supplier’s conformance claim
- How to start with one workflow and measure outcomes
- How security and safety responsibilities are distributed
Start here:
- Adopting ROCOM — what your organisation needs to bring, how to start with one workflow, what conformance tells you
- Security & Safety — how ROCOM addresses connections between systems
- Part 1 — Overview & Scope — what the standard covers
Technology providers
You build or supply systems that participate in healthcare operations: robots, fleet-management platforms, building-system adapters, workforce systems or task integrations.
What to focus on:
- Which interfaces your system needs to implement
- What conformance evidence you need to produce
- How service levels (L0–L3) apply to your capabilities
- What data your system declares and how it flows
Start here:
- Specification Modules — structured reference of all requirements by part
- Part 2 — Service Levels L0–L3 — capability levels and what each requires
- Part 2 — Conformance — how to declare conformance
- Part 4 — Service Contracts — interface requirements
IT, security & assurance
You review how systems connect, what data moves, and whether evidence supports claims. You need to understand trust boundaries, conformance and deviations.
What to focus on:
- Machine identity and the IT/OT boundary
- Declared data flows and audit trails
- Behaviour at failure boundaries
- Version-specific conformance evidence
Start here:
- Security & Safety — summary of how ROCOM addresses security at connections
- Part 6 — Identity & Trust — machine identity requirements
- Part 7 — Data Governance — data flows
- Part 2 — Conformance — conformance framework and evidence
