As such, this Preface may contain material that has not been subjected to public review or a consensus process. In addition, it does not contain requirements neces
5、sary for conformance to the standard. By approving 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 the Plastics Industry Association (aka PLASTICS), the ANSI-accredited standards deve
6、loping organization. American National Standards are developed through a consensus 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.
7、 Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward resolution. This process brings together volunteers or seeks out the views of persons who have an interest in the topic covered by this publication. While the Plastics Industry Association adm

AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD B151.1 2017 2017 Plastics Industry Association Page | iii Foreword (This Foreword is not part of American National Standard ANSI/PLASTICS B151.1-2017) The primary objective
26、 of this standard is to minimize hazards to personnel associated with the use of injection molding machines by establishing requirements for the manufacture and use of these machines. This standard is a revision of American National Standard ANSI/SPI B151.1-2007 - Safety Requirements for the Manufac
27、ture, Care, and Use of Horizontal Clamp Injection Molding Machines, and it has been combined with American National Standard ANSI/SPI B151.29-2014 - Safety Requirements for Vertical Clamp Injection Molding Machines. The B151.29 standard has been formally withdrawn as an American National Standard up
28、on the approval of this newly combined B151.1. Some of the key differences between this standard and the prior edition include but are not limited to: Additional definitions were required and some existing definitions were updated to reflect state of the art and harmonization; Inclusion of safety re
29、quirements addressing the characteristics of vertical clamp IMMs; Making optional, the use of a mechanical device on horizontal clamp IMMs (still required for vertical clamp IMMs); Some paragraphs required modification for clarity and intent; Additional details on electrical requirements were added;
30、 Additional explanatory material and illustrations were added; Some paragraphs required modification and other paragraphs were added to conform more closely to changes in technology; Extensive changes related to safety circuits and safety circuit performance were made, where safety interlocks are no
31、 longer exclusively done by the position sensors but other non-contact and coded interlock switches are now allowed so long as the same level of safeguarding performance is maintained, to effectively protect against hazards from IMMs; Risk reduction measures and hierarchy of controls added as a guid
32、e to the hazards elimination process; Information for use of the machinery is expanded to include PPE and operators training as mandatory requirements for users of the equipment; Differentiations between electrically and mechanically powered machines have been minimized; Motion/No Motion option for
33、platen core and ejectors movement has been updated to reflect new safety requirements for the area of access; Additional user requirements were defined to clearly state the need for using the risk assessment process in the molding operation; Extensive updates to annexes include presence sensing safe
34、guarding devices and two hand control. To assist in the interpretation of these requirements, responsibilities have been assigned to the supplier, the remanufacturer, the modifier, and the user. The project on revising the horizontal injection molding machine standard and combining the safety requir
35、ements for both horizontal IMMs and vertical IMMs into a single standard was initiated under the auspices of the Machinery Safety Standards Committee of the Equipment Council of the Plastics Industry Association. The Plastics Industry Association has long been concerned with operator safety on plast
36、ics processing equipment. Accordingly, the Equipment Council of the Plastics Industry Association has established a standards development committee charged with the task of establishing necessary standards. A standard addressing the manufacture and use of both horizontal and vertical clamp injection
37、 molding machines is complicated by the wide variety and sizes of machines manufactured and in use, and by the virtually infinite combinations of parts being produced, the production methods used, and the operating conditions existing in industry today. The committee has made efforts to simplify and
38、 streamline the requirements as much as practicable. AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD B151.1 2017 2017 Plastics Industry Association Page | iv Effective Date The following information on effective dates is informative guidance only, and not a normative part of this standard. This committee recognizes that
39、 some period of time after the approval date on the title page of this document is necessary for suppliers and users to develop new designs, or modify existing designs or manufacturing processes in order to incorporate the new or revised requirements of this standard into their product development o
40、r production system. This committee recommends that suppliers complete and implement design changes for new machines and machinery systems within 18 months of the approval of this standard. The committee recommends that users evaluate whether existing machinery and machinery systems have acceptable
41、risk within 18 months of the approval date of this standard using generally recognized risk assessment methods. If the risk assessment shows that modification(s) is necessary, refer to the requirements of this standard to implement risk reduction measures (protective measures) for appropriate risk r
42、eduction. The ANSI/PLASTICS B151.1 is considered a “type-C” standard. Plastics Industry Association standards can be associated with the ISO “A-B-C level” structure as described below: Type-A standards (basis standards) give basic concepts, principles for design, and general aspects that can be appl
43、ied to machinery (e.g., ANSI B11.0; ANSI/ISO 12100); Type-B standards (generic safety standards) deal with one or more safety aspects or one or more types of safeguards that can be used across a wide range of machinery (e.g., ANSI B11.19; ISO 13849-1); Type-C standards (machinery safety standards) d
44、eal with detailed safety requirements for a particular machine or group of machines (e.g., ANSI/PLASTICS B151.1; EN 201). Suggestions for improvement of this standard will be welcome. Inquiries with respect to the application of, or substantive requirements of, this standard should be addressed to t
