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 requi
5、rements necessary 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 Society of the Plastics, Industry, Inc. (SPI, the ANSI-accredited s
6、tandards developing 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 necessar
7、ily unanimity. 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 SPI administers the pro
8、cess and establishes procedures to promote fairness in the development of consensus, it does not write the document and it does not independently test, evaluate or verify the accuracy or completeness of any information or the soundness of any judgments contained in its standards or guidelines.

AMERICAN N
25、ATIONAL STANDARD B151.29 2014 2014 Society of the Plastics Industry Page | iii Foreword (This Foreword is not part of American National Standard ANSI/SPI B151.29-2014) The primary objective of this standard is to minimize hazards to personnel associated with machine activity by establishing requirem
26、ents for the manufacture and use of these machines. To accomplish this objective, the committee decided to approach the problem of machine safety as follows: The committee developed a list of hazards typical of VCIMM and listed these in clause 6 of this standard. For each hazard identified within th
27、e scope of the standard, the committee assessed the potential severity of injury related to the hazard, the frequency of exposure to the hazard, and possible avoidance. This process involved discussion among the committee, and resulted in the recommended preventive control measures included in claus
28、es 7 through 10 inclusive and additional Annex reference materials. Compliance with this standard is considered to adequately control hazards identified in clause 6. Other hazards not listed in clause 6 that can occur with VCIMMs may require additional risk reduction measures not included in this st
29、andard. This standard is a revision of American National Standard ANSI/SPI B151.29-2003 - Safety Requirements for the Manufacture, Care, and Use of Vertical Clamp Injection Molding Machines. The standard was revised because: some paragraphs required modification for clarity and intent; additional de
30、tails on electrical requirements were added; additional explanatory material and illustrations were added; additional definitions were required; some paragraphs required modification and other paragraphs were added to conform more closely to changes in technology. To assist in the interpretation of
31、these requirements, responsibilities have been assigned to the supplier, the remanufacturer, the modifier, and the user. The project on safety requirements for the manufacture and use of vertical clamp injection molding machines was initiated under the auspices of the Injection Molding Committee of
32、the Machinery Division, and the Safety Committee of the Molders Division, of SPI: The Plastics Industry Trade Association. Both divisions of the SPI have long been concerned with operator safety on plastics processing equipment. Accordingly, each of the divisions has established a standards developm
33、ent committee charged with the task of establishing necessary standards. A standard treating the manufacture and use of vertical clamp injection molding machines is complicated by the wide variety and sizes of machines manufactured and in use, and by the virtually infinite combinations of parts bein
34、g produced, the production methods used, and the operating conditions existing in industry today. Effective Date The following information on effective dates is informative guidance only, and not a normative part of this standard. This committee recognizes that some period of time after the approval
35、 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 or production system. This committee rec
36、ommends that suppliers complete and implement design changes for new machines and machinery systems within 18 months of the approval of this standard. AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD B151.29 2014 2014 Society of the Plastics Industry Page | iv The committee recommends that users evaluate whether existing
37、 machinery and machinery systems have acceptable 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 meas
38、ures (protective measures) for appropriate risk reduction. The ANSI/SPI B151.29 is considered a “type-C” standard. SPI 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 aspec
39、ts that can be applied 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
40、safety standards) deal with detailed safety requirements for a particular machine or group of machines. 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 the Society of the

46、ng information for requirements. The material in the left column is confined to “Standards Requirements” only, and is so captioned. The right column, captioned “Explanatory Information“ contains information that the writing committee believed would help clarify the requirements of the standard or to
47、 provide examples or additional reference information. This column is not a normative part of the standard as it contains no requirements and should not be construed as being a part of the requirements of this American National Standard. As in all American National Standards, the term “SHALL” denote
48、s a requirement that is to be strictly followed in order to conform to this standard; no deviation is permitted. The term “SHOULD” denotes a recommendation, a practice or condition among several alternatives, or a preferred method or course of action. Similarly, the term “CAN” denotes a possibility,
49、 ability or capability, whether physical or causal, and the term “MAY” denotes a permissible course of action within the limits of the standard. To achieve uniform interpretation, it is imperative to read and understand the definitions (clause 3) of this standard. B151 conventions: Operating rules (safe practices) are not included in either column of this standard unless they are of such nature as to be vital safety requirements, equal in weight to other requirements, or guides to assist in compliance with the standard.
