Regulations and standards
1.3 Machine safety in the USA
1.3.4
ANSI B11
ANSI B11 standards are joint standards, that were developed by associations such
as e.g. the Association for Manufacturing Technology (AMT) and the Robotic Indu-
stries Association (RIA).
The hazards of a machine are evaluated by means of a risk analysis/assessment.
Risk analysis is an important requirement in accordance with NFPA79, ANSI/RIA
15.06, ANSI B11.TR--3 and SEMI S10 (semiconductors). The documented findings
of a risk analysis can be used to select a suitable safety system based on the sa-
fety class of the application in question.
