9、K PLATFORMS Secretariat Scaffold Industry Association, Inc. Approved February 25, 2011 American National Standards Institute, Inc AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria fo

10、r 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 been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not neces

11、sarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standard

12、 or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, or procedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall

13、have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard. CAUTION NOTICE: This

14、 American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard no later than five years from the date of approval. Purchasers of American National Standards may

17、 Platforms, ANSI/SIA A92.9-2011. This standard is one of a series on aerial platforms developed under the committee procedures of the American National Standards Institute. The A92 standards committee was organized by the Institute in 1948. The Scaffold Industry Association, Inc. serves as Secretari

18、at. The primary objective of this standard is to prevent accidents associated with the use of Mast-Climbing Work Platforms by establishing requirements for design manufacture, installation, maintenance, performance, use and training. Interpretations and Suggestions for Improvement All inquiries requ

19、esting interpretation of the Committees approved American National Standards must be in writing and directed to the Secretariat. The A92 Committee shall approve the interpretation before submission to the inquirer. No one but the A92 Committee is authorized to provide any interpretation of this stan

20、dard. The A92 Committee solicits comments on and criticism of the requirements of the standards. The standards will be revised from time to time where necessary or desirable, as demonstrated by the experience gained from the application of the standards. Proposals for improvement of this standard wi

21、ll be welcome. Proposals should be as specific as possible, citing the paragraph number(s), the proposed wording, and a detailed rationale for the proposal including any pertinent documentation. All requests for interpretation and all suggestions for improvement shall be forwarded in writing to the
