Pinning Standards

A pinned standard is a project’s (or organisation’s) declaration: we author requirements that derive from this edition of this standard, and we expect to receive amendment alerts and diff views when it changes. Pinning is the gate that unlocks derivation, the feed, and amendment diffs. Until a standard is pinned, you cannot link a requirement to its clauses.
Roboticks is audit-readiness tooling, not a certified toolchain. We assemble the evidence your notified body, certification body, or QA process ingests. We do not replace tool qualification (DO-178C, ISO 26262-8 TCL) and we do not issue conformity assessments. Verify the regulatory interpretations on this page against the standard text and your accredited assessor.

​
Two scopes

ScopeWhen to use
Organisation-wideStandards that apply to every product the org ships (e.g., ISO 12100 risk-assessment basics, ISO 9001 quality processes). Inherited by every project.
Project-scopedStandards specific to the product family — ISO 10218-1:2025 for an industrial-robot project, ISO 3691-4 for an AMR project.
A project inherits every org-wide pin and can add its own project-scoped pins. A project cannot un-pin an org-wide pin — that decision lives at the org level.

​
How to pin

​
From the dashboard

1

Open Standards in the dashboard

Organisation Settings → Standards for org-wide pinning, or Project → Standards for project-scoped.
2

Browse the catalog

Filter by family (machinery safety, functional safety, AI, etc.), by issuing body (ISO, IEC, EN, ANSI, EU), or by free-text search. The catalog shows every available standard, its latest edition, and any pinned amendments.
3

Pick the edition

Most standards have multiple editions. Pick the edition you actually certify against — typically the latest harmonised edition, or the latest at your last conformity assessment. Roboticks supports pinning past editions for legacy products.
4

Confirm subscription

First standards subscription is included on Team. Additional are $99 / standard / month. The confirmation modal shows the exact monthly delta.
5

Pin

The pin is effective immediately. Existing requirements can now reference clauses; new requirements can be derived from clauses.

​
From the CLI

# Project-scoped
rbtk standard pin iso-10218-1-2025 \
  --project acme-robotics/firmware

# Organisation-wide
rbtk standard pin iso-12100-2010 \
  --org acme-robotics

​
Bulk-pin from a template

For organisations that want every new project to start with the same standards stack, Templates are a one-shot bulk pin: 
rbtk standard template apply industrial-robot-eu \
  --project acme-robotics/firmware
Built-in templates:

​
”Derive from” vs “conform to”

These are two distinct claims, and Roboticks tracks them differently. Derive from is a Roboticks model concept. A requirement says: I exist because clause X of standard Y says these things. If clause X changes, I may need to change. The derivation link is what powers amendment diffs. Conform to is the regulatory determination. Our product, in this configuration, meets the requirements of standard Y. Roboticks does not make this determination. The evidence pack provides the inputs (requirement coverage, test results, MCAPs, coverage); the conformance call is made by your QA team, your notified body, or your certification body. The implication: a project can be pinned to ISO 10218-1:2025 without claiming conformance to it. The pin enables derivation and alerting; the conformance is a separate, off-platform decision. Many customers pin a standard a year before they intend to claim conformance, to build a derivation backlog gradually.

​
The pinned-standard view

For each pinned standard, the dashboard shows:
  • Edition and amendment level — the exact version the project derives from.
  • Last pull — when the platform last verified the publication feed for this standard.
  • Open amendments — any amendment published since the pin that has not been triaged.
  • Derived requirement count — how many of your requirements link to this standard.
  • Coverage roll-up — of the derived requirements, how many are confirmed by at least one passing test.
Use it as a posture summary: at a glance, do we have an open amendment to deal with, and is our derived-requirement coverage healthy.

​
Unpinning

Unpinning a standard:
  • Stops the feed for that standard at the project level.
  • Does not delete historical derivation links — they remain in place, marked as “from unpinned standard.”
  • Does not refund the in-month subscription; pro-ration is end-of-billing-cycle.
Unpinning is a deliberate action. It does not affect prior releases — their pinned-standards snapshot is immutable. Future releases simply will not show this standard in their conformance section. To re-pin, re-run the pin flow. The historical derivation links automatically re-attach to the freshly pinned standard, and the feed resumes.

​
Multi-edition projects

Some projects need to maintain conformance to multiple editions simultaneously — typically when an older edition is still grandfathered for products in the field while a new edition applies to new builds. Roboticks supports pinning the same standard at multiple editions concurrently. Each pin is independent: separate feeds, separate derivation links, separate amendment diffs. Requirements explicitly reference an {edition, clause} tuple, so the lineage is unambiguous. This is the dominant pattern in the run-up to EU MR 2023/1230 (applies January 20, 2027): legacy products under Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, new products under MR 2023/1230, both pinned, both with active feeds.
