3、ng this American National Standard, the ANSI Board of Standards Review confirms that the requirements for due process, consensus, balance and openness have been met by B11 Standards, Inc., (the ANSI-accredited standards developing organization). American National Standards are developed through a co
4、nsensus process. Consensus is established when substantial agreement has 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 considered, and that a
5、 concerted effort be made toward resolution. This process brings together volunteers and/or seeks out the views of persons who have an interest in the topic covered by this publication. While B11 Standards, Inc., administers the process and establishes procedures to promote fairness in the developme

Page 7 Foreword (This Foreword is informative and not part of the normative requirements of American National Standard ANSI B1
42、1.3-2012.) The primary objective of this standard is to eliminate, control or reduce hazards to individuals associated with power press brakes by establishing requirements for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of these machines. To accomplish this objective, responsibilities have b
43、een assigned to the supplier (e.g., manufacturer, modifier, rebuilder and integrator), the user, and individuals in the working environment. The words “safe“ and “safety“ are not absolutes. An element of safety is attitude. While the objective of this standard is to eliminate, control, or reduce haz
44、ards, this standard recognizes that hazards cannot be practically reduced to zero in any human activity. This standard is not intended to replace good judgment, proper training, and personal responsibility. Operator skill, job monotony, fatigue, and experience are safety factors that should be consi
45、dered by the user. HISTORY The original B11.3 standard was approved in 1973 and revised in 1982 and again in 2002. In the 2002 document, powered folding machines were included in the scope of the standard because they were predominantly similar to press brakes in that they are metal bending machines
46、 and they were not covered by any other standard. During the current revision process, the subcommittee determined that powered folding machines have evolved into multi-axis machines that process metal in numerous ways, many of which are unlike a press brake. Additionally, there is now a type-A stan
47、dard, ANSI B11.0, which can be used in conjunction with the type-B standard ANSI B11.19 to provide guidance for the safe use of machines in general. It is for these reasons that the subcommittee decided to exclude powered folding machines in the scope of the 2012 ANSI B11.3 standard. This current 20
48、12 standard was revised by the B11.3 Subcommittee, processed and administered by the Secretariat, and approved by the B11 Accredited Standards Committee for submittal to the ANSI Executive Standards Council as an American National Standard. New topics included in this revision are the “close proximi
49、ty point of operation AOPD” safeguarding devices, and a safeguarding means called “Safe Speed.” In addition, this revision incorporates the B11 Accredited Standards Committees “FASTT” initiative, which defined common language to be used by the entire series of ANSI B11 standards. Consequently, many definitions of common terms contained in the previous edition of B11.3 can be now be found in the ANSI B11.0 and ANSI B11.19 standards. This initiative also significantly impacted clauses 4, 5, 7, 9 and a brand new clause 10 and Annex I
