5、ii AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Approval of an American National 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 Standa
6、rds Review, 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 concerted effort be made toward th
7、eir resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether they have approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the stand
8、ards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the Ameri
9、can National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard. CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Sta
10、ndards Institute require that action be taken to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard no later than five years from the date of approval. Purchases of American National Standards may receive current information on all standards by calling or writing the American National Standards Institute.

15、teria for American National Standards. The consensus committee that approved the Standard was balanced to ensure that individuals from competent and concerned interests have had an opportunity to participate. It was developed within the approved scope as stated in section 1.1 of the standard. This S
16、tandard is available for public review on a continuing basis. This provides an opportunity for additional public input from industry, academia, regulatory agencies, and the public-at-large. The use of an addenda system will allow revisions made in response to public review or committee actions to be
17、 published as required. This standard, which is the result of extended and careful consideration of available knowledge and experience on the subject, is intended to provide minimum requirements that are recommended for use, adoption, enforcement by federal, state and local authorities and by model
18、codes. It is recommended that this standard be referenced but not incorporated in any statute. This Standard does not recommend where safety glazing should be used or, when it is used, what type of glazing material should be used. For this information one should consult other codes, standards and ma
19、nufacturers information. Neither the standards committee nor the secretariat feel that this standard is perfect or in its ultimate form. It is recognized that, although safety-glazing materials are widely used and accepted, new developments are to be expected and revisions of the standards are neces
20、sary as the art progresses and further experience is gained. This standard is a successor standard to the 2004e edition. The 2004e standard succeeded those of the 1984 (reaffirmed in 1994), 1975, 1972 and 1966 editions. In order for material to be considered for reference or to continue to be refere
21、nced in the ANSI Z97.1 standard, it shall meet the following criteria: 1. The referenced material, including title and date, and the manner in which it is to be utilized shall be specifically identified in the text of ANSI Z97.1. 2. The standard or portions of a standard intended to be enforced shal
22、l be written in mandatory language. 3. The scope or application of the reference material shall be clearly described. 4. The referenced material shall not have the effect of requiring proprietary materials. 5. The standard shall not prescribe a proprietary agency for quality control or testing. For

24、tee (ASC) Z97 (all rights reserved), ANSI Z97.1-2009 v CORRESPONDENCE WITH ASC Z97 COMMITTEE General. ANSI Codes and Standards are developed and maintained with the intent to represent the consensus of concerned interests. As such, users of this Standard may interact with the Committee by requesting
25、 interpretations, proposing revisions, and attending Committee meetings. Correspondence should be addressed to: Secretary, Z97 Main Committee c/o Julia Schimmelpenningh Solutia Inc. 730 Worcester St. Springfield, MA 01151 JCSCHIS Proposing Revisions. Revisions are made periodically to the Standard t
26、o incorporate changes that appear necessary or desirable, as demonstrated by the experience gained from the application of the Standard. Approved revisions will be published periodically. The Committee welcomes proposals for revisions to this Standard. Proposals should be as specific as possible: ci
27、ting the paragraph number(s), the proposed wording and a detailed description of the reasons for the proposal. Pertinent documentation should be included. Interpretations. On written request, the ASC Z97 Committee will render an interpretation of any requirement of the Standard. The request for inte
28、rpretation should be clear and unambiguous. The following format is recommended: Subject: Cite the applicable paragraph number(s) and provide a concise description. Edition: Cite the edition of the Standard for which the interpretation is being requested. Question: Phrase the question as a request f
29、or an interpretation of a specific requirement suitable for general understanding and use, not a request for an approval of a proprietary design or situation. Requests that are not in the above format may be rewritten by the Committee or its Secretary prior to being answered, which may inadvertently
30、 change the intent of the original request. The Committee reserves the right to deem certain requests for interpretations as not within its scope or expertise and refuse to address them. The committee reserves the right to reconsider any interpretation when or if additional information, which might
31、affect that original interpretation, becomes available to the Committee. Persons aggrieved by an interpretation may appeal to the Committee for reinterpretation. The ASC Z97 does not “approve,“ “certify,“ “rate,“ or “endorse,“ any item, construction, proprietary device, or activity beyond what is ad
32、dressed in the Standard. Attending Committee Meetings. The ASC Z97 holds meetings that are open to the public.
