ANSI/PMMI B155.1-2006. Safety Requirements for Packaging Machinery and Packaging-Related Converting Machinery Standard. Arlington, VA Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute, 2006. 

Comments in some detail will be made later on a revision of a standard that now contains risk assessment provisions the Safety Requirements for Packaging Machinery and Packaging-Related Converting Machinery Standard, ANSI/PMMI B155.1/2006. The standard is a fairly recent development it was approved in May 2006. Since the standard s risk assessment provisions are largely generic, others are examining that section to determine whether it can serve as the basis for a new ANSI standard on risk assessment alone. 

This version of the standard has been harmonized with intemationat (ISO) and European (EN) standards by the introduction of hazard identification and risk assessment as the principal method for analyzing hazards to personnel and achieving a level of acceptable risk. This version of the standard is a major revision that integrates the requirements of ISO parts 1 and 2 and ISO 14121, as weU as U.S. standards. Suppliers meeting the requirements of ANSI/PMMI B155.1 2006 may simultaneously meet the requirements of these three ISO standards.
