9、 of an American national Standard requires verification by AnSi that the require-ments for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. consensus is established when, in the judgment of the AnSi Board of Standards review, substantial agreement has

10、 been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. consensus requires that all views and objections be consid-ered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. the use of American

11、national Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect pre-clude anyone, whether he/she has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards. the American national Standa

12、rds institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstance give an interpretation of any American national Standard. more-over, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American national Standard in the name of the American national Standards institute.

13、requests for interpretation should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard. caution notice: this American national Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. the procedures of the American national Standards institute require that actio

16、Z359.7-2011.)this standard, national in scope, was developed by an Accredited Standards committee functioning un-der the procedures of the American national Standards institute, with the American Society of Safety engineers (ASSe) as secretariat. this standard establishes minimum requirements for ce

17、rtification of fall protection products covered by the AnSi Z359-series standards.it is intended that this standard addresses certification for fall protection products covered by the AnSi Z359-series standards will comply with the requirements detailed in this standard.neither the standards committ

18、ee, nor the secretariat, states that this standard is perfect or in its ultimate form. it is recognized that new developments are to be expected, and that revisions of the standard will be necessary as the state-of-the-art progresses and further experience is gained. it is felt, however, that unifor

19、m guidelines for fall protection programs are very much needed and that the standard in its present form provides for the minimum criteria necessary to develop and implement a comprehensive managed fall protection program.the Z359 committee solicits public input that may suggest the need for revisio

20、ns to this standard. Such input should be sent to the Secretariat, ASc Z359, American Society of Safety engineers, 1800 e. oakton Street, Des Plaines, iL 60018-2187.this standard was developed and approved for submittal to AnSi by the American national Standards committee on Standards for fall Prote
