American National Standard Approval of an American Nat

4、ional Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements 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 been reached by dir

5、ectly 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 considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National Standards is

17、uous manual pressure by the operator to allow the baler to operate. 3.83 system: The combined use of several (normally stand-alone) technologies in an integrated fashion for the simultaneous or sequential processing of materials (such as, shredders, trommels, conveyors, etc.). 3.84 system pressure:

18、The range of operating pressures ranging between normal and maximum operating pressure in the hydraulic system as stated by the manufacturer. 3.85 unattended baler with automatic startup: Baling equipment where the main motor will start and the baler will cycle automatically while unattended when ac

19、tivated by a signal from a sensor or a sequencing program or device. 3.86 waste: Materials such as garbage, trash, rubbish, ashes, incineration residue, street cleanings, plant trimmings, solids, semi-solids, liquids or gases, which are generated and discarded by commercial, industrial, and resident

20、ial activities. Excluded are solid or dissolved materials such as domestic sewage and solid or dissolved materials in irrigation return flows or industrial discharges.

(See Section 7, Operational Requirements

25、.) NOTE: Consideration shall be given to reasonably foreseeable misuse of the baler for its intended application. It is not expected that every possible misuse will be foreseen, but the installer should use its best judgment and experience to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury to pe
