ANSI B11 2008 - General Safety Requirements Common to ANSI B11 Machines

This standard applies to new, modified or rebuilt power driven machines, not portable by hand, used to shape or form metal or other materials by cutting, impact, pressure, electrical or other processing techniques, or a combination of these processes.  This can be a single machine, machine tool and/or a machine tool system(s).

Informative Note 1:  To improve readability, these terms are used interchangeably throughout the document, either in singular or plural form.
Informative Note 2:  See Annex A for a list of example machine tools
 
Other industry sectors may benefit from applying this standard to other machines or machinery systems.  Where a machine-specific standard exists for a machine and the requirements of that standard conflict with the requirements in this standard, the requirements of the machine-specific standard shall apply.  Informative Note: For example, ANSI/RIA R15.06 for robots and robotic systems.

Definitions for use with standards:
The following downloadable definitions are to be used with the ANSI B11 series of safety standards for machines and have been extracted from the ANSI B11 standard, General Safety Requirements Common to ANSI B11 Machines. The intent of this online compilation of definitions is twofold:

  • to provide ongoing assistance, by lessening the need to discuss terms, to the technical writing subcommittees who develop the B11 Machine Safety Standards and who periodically review and revise the standards as required by the procedures of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). 
  • to provide further guidance to AMT Members, machinery manufacturers, and users.
In addition, this online compilation will provide for a single reference source of B11 definitions that maintains consistency and is easy to update.
