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. To submit comments/feedback regarding this document or for more information on the ANSI B11 series of safety standards for machines, please contact Cindy Haas, Standards Program Manager, clhaas@amtonline.org.
