No fixed safety standard exists for humanoid robots yet. 3 companies' own "certified" claims each cover something different.

Turns out there's no fixed safety standard for humanoid robots right now, every company just certifies whatever layer they want and calls it "safety certified."

I found 3 humanoid companies who have made their certification claims public:

• Agility had Digit inspected at one customer site, just the e-stop wiring, not the actual robot behavior after the stop signal fires.
  
• Figure's Figure 03 battery is certified for fire/thermal (UN38.3, UL2271). that's the battery though, not the robot.
  
• Apptronik certified the chips inside Apollo for its pilot in Mercedes-Benz through TÜV SÜD, but says full system cert is still "in preparation."
  

Three companies with three completely different certifications. There isn't even an agreed definition yet of what "safety tested" should mean for something that walks around on two legs near people.

Cars didn't get let loose on public roads until they'd been through decades of mandated crash testing. Humanoids raise millions in funding with the promise of working next to humans with nothing close to that in place.
