16、 is not a part of American n ational Standard Z359.7-2011.) t his standard, national in scope, was developed by an Accredited Standards c ommittee functioning un- der the procedures of the American n ational Standards institute, with the American Society of Safety engineers (ASSe) as secretariat. t
17、his standard establishes minimum requirements for certification of fall protection products covered by the An Si Z359-series standards. it is intended that this standard addresses certification for fall protection products covered by the An Si Z359-series standards will comply with the requirements
18、detailed in this standard. n either the standards committee, 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 furth
19、er experience is gained. it is felt, however, that uniform 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. t he Z359 c ommittee
20、 solicits public input that may suggest the need for revisions to this standard. Such input should be sent to the Secretariat, ASc Z359, American Society of Safety engineers, 1800 e. o akton Street, Des Plaines, iL 60018-2187. t his standard was developed and approved for submittal to An Si by the A
