2、 Safety SpecificationsSponsorOutdoor Power Equipment Institute, Inc. (OPEI)Approved January 13, 2016Published February 11, 2016American National Standards Institute, Inc.Approval of an American National Standard requires review by ANSI that therequirements for due process, consensus, and other crite
3、ria for approval havebeen met by the standards developer.Consensus is established when, in the judgement of the ANSI Board ofStandards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly andmaterially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more thana simple majority, but not nec
4、essarily unanimity. Consensus requires that allviews and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be madetowards their resolution.The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; theirexistence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approvedthe standards
5、or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or usingproducts, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards.The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards andwill in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American NationalStandard. Moreover, no person

15、This foreword is not part of American National Standard ANSI/OPEI B71.8-2016.)This standard is a revision of American National Standard for Outdoor PowerEquipment Powered Walk-Behind Rotary Tillers and Hand-Supported Cultivators -Safety Specifications, ANSI/OPEI B71.8-1996 (R2005). This standard was
16、 firstpublished in 1986, and the current standard is the 3rdedition.The present revision was prepared by the Outdoor Power Equipment Institutes(OPEI) Tillers Committee (B71.8), as part of OPEIs continuing work on standards.A summary of the principal changes included in this revision are as follows:-
17、 Revised Scope to (a) clarify this standard is applicable irrespective of thetype of power source, and (b) does not apply to cultivator attachmentscovered by the applicable ANSI/OPEI B175 standards;- Revised definition for hand-supported cultivator;- Added machine identification requirements;- Revis
18、ed starting stabilization requirements for hand-supported cultivators;- Added an operator zone emergency stop control requirement for machineswith a powered reverse function;- Revised the rear tine shielding requirements;- Revised hot exhaust surface requirements;- Added ANSI/UL 969 as an alternativ
19、e to ASTM label durability requirements;- Removed fuel tank overfill and fuel line pull test, covered by applicable ANSI/OPEI standards (Annex B);- Added use of symbols as an alternative to text for on-product safetywarnings;- Revised list of required operator manual safety warnings.Consensus for th
20、is standard was achieved by the use of the Canvass Method. Theannexes in this standard (A and B) are informative and not considered part of thisstandard.Suggestions for improvement of the standard will be welcome. They should be sentto the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute, 341 South Patrick Street,
